"If I'm walking very, very fast down Madison Avenue in the middle of the day, I'll say I'm stopped 10 times"
About this Quote
Madison Avenue is also a savvy setting. It’s a street associated with money, status, and visibility; being “stopped” there reads less like harassment and more like a cultural transaction. Fans feel entitled to a moment, a photo, a proof-of-contact, and Davis frames it as relentless friction rather than flattering attention. The subtext is that the performance doesn’t end when the cameras do. She’s “Kristin Davis” first, person second, and the city becomes a corridor of micro-demands.
There’s an implied Sex and the City afterglow here, too: the show turned Manhattan into a lifestyle brand, and Davis into a walking symbol of it. Her speed is almost a defense mechanism; the fact that it fails is the point.
