More quotes by Shonda Rhimes
The expected is what keeps us steady. It's the unexpected that changes our lives forever.
Shonda Rhimes
A hashtag is not helping... A hashtag is not a movement. A hashtag does not make you Dr. King. A hashtag does not change anything. It's a hashtag.

Maybe you know exactly what it is you dream of being, or maybe you're paralyzed because you have no idea what your passion is. The truth is, it doesn't matter. You don't have to know. You just have to keep moving forward. You just have to keep doing something, seizing the next opportunity, staying open to trying something new.

Yes, it is hard out there. But hard is relative. I come from a middle-class family, my parents are academics. I was born after the Civil Rights movement, I was a toddler during the women's movement, I live in the United States of America, all of which means I am allowed to own my freedom, my rights, my voice and my uterus.

I'm a black woman every day, and I'm not confused about that. I'm not worried about that. I don't need to have a discussion with you about how I feel as a black woman, because I don't feel disempowered as a black woman.
Shonda Rhimes
Dreams are lovely. But they are just dreams. Fleeting, ephemeral, pretty. But dreams do not come true just because you dream them. It's hard work that makes things happen. It's hard work that creates change.
Shonda Rhimes
When people show you who they are, believe them. I carry that with me a lot. It has served me well.
Shonda Rhimes
I don't understand why people don't understand that the world of TV should look like the world outside of TV.
Shonda Rhimes
Making it through the ceiling to the other side was simply a matter of running on a path created by every other woman's footprints.

Nobody got anything great by playing it safe.
