"It's nice to be with someone, but I don't think you need to be in a relationship to feel complete. That would be really sad"
About this Quote
"That would be really sad" sounds casual, almost conversational, but it’s a moral verdict delivered in soft packaging. Davis frames relationship-as-identity not as a private preference but as a loss of agency, a narrowing of the self into a role. The subtext is less about being single and more about refusing the emotional austerity policy that says your life doesn't fully count without a plus-one.
The context matters: Davis is permanently associated with Sex and the City, a franchise that both fed and critiqued late-90s/early-2000s dating mythology. Coming from an actress whose fame is tied to romantic plotlines, the statement reads like an insider’s corrective: someone who knows how much narrative oxygen relationships take in pop culture, and how easily audiences confuse story structure with life structure. It's a small, plainspoken rebellion against the marketable fantasy that wholeness is a couple's activity.
