Sarah Jessica Parker is not "overly eager" to become a so-called empty nester.

The 60-year-old actress has James, 22, and 16-year-old twins Tabitha and Marion with husband Matthew Broderick, and Sarah acknowledges that her life will change in dramatic fashion once all of her kids leave home.

During an upcoming appearance on The Best People with Nicolle Wallace - a clip of which has been shared with E! News - the actress explains: "The idea of leisure is pretty amazing to think about.

"But I'm not overly eager for it, because I don't want it until I know that my children are pursuing their next stage of life in their academic careers. When they go to college, I can think about travelling in September."

Sarah already has a number of projects in the works, and she doesn't have any intention of slowing down in her professional life.

She said: "You don't imagine days where you're like, ‘Hmm, what should I do today?’ Because that's just not been - no fault but my own - the way I've functioned."

Despite this, Sarah is planning to travel more when her twins do leave home.

Asked how she might spend her free time, Sarah replied: "Probably travel more. There are times that other countries are at their best, and right now with my children in school, I can't go where I would wanna go."

Meanwhile, Sarah previously revealed that she wants her children to be able to "take care of themselves" financially.

The Hollywood star told The E! News Sitdown: "I really want my children to be educated in the ways that are fulfilling to them.

"I don’t think that there is one way to be an educated person or to be equipped to be an adult and try to fashion a life for yourself after what would be considered ‘finishing college’ - let’s say 22 years old.

"You want for them to be pursuing things that are exciting and challenging and hard and gratifying and to be able to ultimately take care of themselves, support themselves - emotionally, financially, and that they can be in the world and be a reliable person to themselves and to other people. And so we talk about work like that."
