Samantha Jones didn’t just serve looks on Sex and the City – she dropped truth bombs that hit harder than a fourth cosmopolitan.

Nobody serves confidence quite like Sex and the City‘s Samantha Jones. Through six seasons and two movies, she dropped truth bombs that made us gasp and laugh but also made us secretly wish we had her level of self-assurance. Here are 15 Samantha Jones quotes that prove she was the queen of living life on her own terms. 

1. “I love you, but I love me more.” 

Samantha’s ultimate declaration of self-worth was to never settle for anything less than you deserve. This iconic line dropped just when we all needed to hear it. She nailed that whole “put your oxygen mask on first” vibe without making it sound like some cheesy self-help book.

2. “I’m a try-sexual. I’ll try anything once.” 

This was a cheeky reminder to embrace life with an open mind and a sense of adventure. It was also Classic Samantha – taking something seriously and turning it into a life lesson wrapped in a perfect punchline. Her fearless approach to trying new things basically gave everyone permission to get a little wild.

3. “The most exciting, challenging, and significant relationship of all is the one you have with yourself.”  

Way before self-care became trendy, Samantha dropped this gem. And she wasn’t trying to sell anything – she was just living it.

4. “I will not be judged by you or society.”

 While everyone else was tiptoeing around judgment, Samantha basically told society to shove it, and did it with style.

5. “If I worried about what every b***h in New York was saying about me, I’d never leave the house.” 

She said what we’re all thinking whenever someone tries to shame us for living our best life. Peak Samantha wisdom wrapped in that perfect New York sass.

6. “I don’t believe in the Republican Party or the Democratic Party. I just believe in parties.” 

Leave it to Samantha to cut through all the noise and get to what really matters. Who needs politics when you could be having fun instead?

7. “Who needs a husband when I have a duplex?” 

Before everyone started choosing themselves, Samantha was picking real estate over relationships. Pretty sure she invented the whole “treat yourself” movement.

8. “Honey, you’re not that special. He’s just not that into you.”  

Sometimes the truth hurts, but nobody delivered it quite like Samantha. This reality check probably saved thousands from waiting by their phones for that guy who was never gonna call.

Instead of playing by the rules, Samantha wrote her own playbook about love and relationships. 

10. “Relationships? I’m not even sure they’re necessary anymore.”

12. “If I listened to my friends, I’d never have sex.” 

Only Samantha could turn ignoring good advice into words to live by. Sometimes you just need to follow your own compass (or libido).

13. “I have sex like a man, but who here doesn’t want to be like a man?” 

This was Samantha’s candid approach to breaking stereotypes and owning her choices. She called out the double standard and flipped it on its head. Twenty years later this take is still fresh.

14. “I’m not going to not have a baby, just to make my neighbors feel better.” 

Before “living your truth” became a hashtag, Samantha was already showing everyone how it’s done. No explanations needed.

15. “I don’t do feelings. I do fabulous.”  

 Samantha in one sentence — a fabulous icon who didn’t let emotions get in the way of living her best life. The ultimate Samantha philosophy. Why cry about it when you could be fabulous instead?
