Just a couple of few shorts month ago British actress Alice Eve said, while out stumping her role in Crossing Over (now available on DVD), that “I have a problem with Sex and the City in that it perpetuates a level of judgment between women”.

You’ll never believe what Eve’s going to be seen in this year? Yup, you guessed it, Sex and the City 2.

But did the actress, soon to be seen in the comedy She’s Out Of My League, really say that about Sex and the City? Seems not.

What’s Playing caught up with the beautiful actress last week.

What’s Playing: I read that you had a problem with Sex & the City.

Alice: I know, someone’s printed that.

What’s Playing : Is that true?

Alice: No, i’ve watched it since I was a teenager. I think what I was doing was going on a feminist rant about women being pitted against women, and used that as an example. But it’s the most wonderful show and it shows modern women. And I think i was using it as an example of the modern woman and modern female relationships and how really women dress for women and I think that’s what I was talking about, but interpreted as something opposite, which it was never.

What’s Playing: Because I was going to ask you if it was a difficult decision, to take a role in Sex & the City 2.

Alice: Yeah it was one of those things where you’re misquoted.

What’s Playing: You play Charlotte (Kristin Davis)’s nanny, and she’s Irish, another accent! Is that a hard one?

Alice: I did some lessons with a dialect coach on that, but once you get the rhythm, once you get the cadence of an accent you kind of fall in to it. That’s the important thing, the energy behind it, and that’s what I got and then I was comfortable.

What’s Playing: How did you find working with Kristen (Davis) and Evan (Handler)?

Alice: Amazing. Yeah I went for dinner with Evan’s family and Kristen was incredibly supportive and she’s very talented. It was special.

What’s Playing: It was comfortable?

Alice: Very comfortable. I was surprised at how comfortable it was. It was so much like and easy set that had been running for years and you walked in to it, and everything was smooth. It was amazing.

What’s Playing: Does being the leading role in She’s Out of my League set you up with confidence to go into something like Sex and the City 2?

Alice: Yeah definitely having been on set for three months and knowing how it works, and you know i’ve made a few movies but nothing can quite prepare you for meeting those four women, and working with them. Someone just said, ‘Is it like the Godfather for women?’ and I think that’s probably true. It is like that and it was like that.

What’s Playing : It’s like a bible?

Alice: It’s like bible, it is.

What’s Playing: And you filmed that in New York?

Alice: Yeah, it was amazing.

What’s Playing: Because that’s a whole ‘thing’, it is it’s own character.

Alice: Yeah, it’s a phenomenon, I mean you know i’ve worked in New York before, i did a play on Broadway, so I spent time professionally here. But it’s funny when you work in New York, you spend a lot of time in the traffic, it’s a lot busier, it’s not like Pittsburgh where you just drive and the streets are yours. One time I found myself having to get out and walk, I think the President was in town and I had to walk five blocks with a huge plant pot that I’d been given, because the car couldn’t get there.
