I love the idea of modern art in a home that isn't totally modern. There's a certain energy that comes out of that juxtaposition. Darren Star artenergyhome Change image and share on social
I never did theater. I was a theater major at USC my first year because I didn't get into the film school. I was biding my time, hoping to be accepted to film school, and I ended up transferring to UCLA my sophomore year. Darren Star acceptbideend share on social
When I brought 'Sex and the City' to HBO, I wanted to do something independent, where I could be like, 'I don't care if anybody watches this thing. Just let me do something that I would love to see.' Honestly, the success of 'Sex and the City' was what was most surprising to me. It was sort of like the anti-TV-show in my mind. Darren Star antibringcare share on social
In the moment when you're doing a show, you're thinking of that moment, but you don't think of, 'Here's down the line how people will be relating to the characters.'

'90210' was looking at teenagers from a perspective that hadn't really been seen on television, though it had been seen in movies like some John Hughes films. I don't know if you want to say '90210' was real, but what the characters were going through was relatable - in a very glamorous environment. Darren Star characterenvironmentfilm share on social
Male nudity, full-frontal nudity, has always been considered a lot more taboo than female nudity. As far back as I can remember, there's been a double standard between men and women. I think it's time that men get equal time in terms of nudity. Darren Star backconsiderdouble share on social
I realized early on I was not an actor. And it was a great thing to have that realization. To see actors and see what that talent is... it wasn't me. Darren Star actorearlygreat Change image and share on social
In general, I think writing characters, no one is 100 percent good or bad, and certainly, the bad characters never think they're bad themselves. Even the worst characters don't feel like they're bad guys on the inside. Darren Star badcharacterfeel share on social
