Sarah Jessica Parker's been called the "greediest woman" in Hollywood with regards to things such as her Sex and the City wardrobe, but her costume designer, Patricia Field, says it's understandable.

"Her mom is a teacher, but she had eight kids or whatever. It’s not that they were uneducated people, just you know," Patricia added. "She says that all the time – if there’s anything that makes her like that, it’s that she grew up poor, and she delights in all the things she can have and has."
"I believe that that’s true," she explained. "I heard her say it herself."

"As far as other things, I am not the person who calls going ‘Hi, Nancy at Chanel, do you think Sarah Jessica could be gifted this skirt?’ I don’t do that. She has assistants," Patricia said. "I’m out of that whole world. It’s not my world."
