Washington DC, May 18 -- Actress Sarah Jessica Parker revealed that she almost turned down her iconic role in 'Sex and the City', reported Deadline.

Parker, a six-time Golden Globe winner, shared that after filming the pilot episode in 1997, she initially asked her agent to release her from the project once it was picked up as a series.

In a podcast with her co-star Kristin Davis, the actress shared that she had a "lovely" time filming the first episode, but she got "panicked" when the show got picked up.

"When the show was picked up, I panicked. I was like, I can't be on a TV show. I don't think I'm suited for that life. It's very hard to explain. It also kind of depressed me," said Parker as quoted by Deadline.
