Q. Why did you have to have your tattoos covered?
JM: Oh my God. I had to kiss my on-screen boyfriend and he was supposed to be dressed kind of conservative so I had to look kind of conservative.

AE: You have a kiss in the movie?
JM: Oh, yeah. Full on. My boyfriend was played by a straight guy. John Frey. He actually looked kind of nervous about the kiss because it was no pat on the back. It was a romantic, full-on kiss. We had to do twelve takes. He was a nice guy, and after five takes he was fine. His girlfriend was on the set and she laughed and clapped after each one.

AE: What was the context of the kiss?
JM: The scenario was that four of them [Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Kristen Davis, and Cynthia Nixon] are walking down the street and I come around corner and pass in front of them. Kim Cattrall checks out my ass or something, but I'm not looking at them. As Kim goes past, I go into my boyfriend's arms and we kiss. Kim makes a comment, something like "That explains it."

So give us the scoop on Sarah Jessica Parker.
JM: She's exactly as she seems on TV. I'd heard before that she's amazing, super nice, and genuine. I know critiquing people was really painful for her. I worked for a design company before that did some work for her. She called personally to thank us herself.
