When people show you who they are, believe them. I carry that with me a lot. It has served me well.
From Shonda Rhimes
I don't understand why people don't understand that the world of TV should look like the world outside of TV.
You can't tell stories and really walk in someone's shoes and not have a love for them, even if they're doing horrible things.
Writing for television is completely different from movie scriptwriting. A movie is all about the director's vision, but television is a writer's medium.
I think I'm most proud of the fact that I have figured out how to exist as both a creative person and artist, and a businesswoman and manager. Because those two things do not go together.
I actually like being alone. I spend most evenings reading and taking long baths.
When the press began asking me for interviews, I freaked out. My instinct is to hide.
I've learned this is a very long marriage doing a television show. I like the people that I work with to be people I enjoy, so you want to cast people who are as excited and enthusiastic as you are.
Most of the women I saw on TV didn't seem like people I actually knew. They felt like ideas of what women are.
Calling a show a 'guilty pleasure' is like saying 'I'm embarrassed to say I watch it but I can't stop.' That's not a compliment.
