"I'm no expert on sex but I've felt under huge pressure in the past to be one, because of the characters I've played," the 55-year-old, thrice-divorced actress told The Sunday Times Magazine.

"The thing that changed everything for me was becoming sexually happy," the British-born actress said.

"I'd not been for years, but then I was with a partner who was sensitive and who listened. One of the great things about 'Sex and the City' was that it addressed sexuality with humor. It's not all about orgasms ... it's about the journey."
