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.

More quotes by Shonda Rhimes
Mother is not a title. Mother is a verb. It is not who you are. It's what you do.
Shonda Rhimes
You can waste your lives drawing lines. Or you can live your life crossing them.
Shonda Rhimes
I think it's sad, and weird, and strange that [race in casting] is still a thing. It's 2013. Somebody else needs to get their act together.
Shonda Rhimes
I think a lot of people dream. And while they are busy dreaming, the really happy people, the really successful people, the really interesting, engaged, powerful people, are busy doing.
Shonda Rhimes
The only limit to success is your own imagination.
Shonda Rhimes
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.
Shonda Rhimes
Mother is a verb, not a noun.
Shonda Rhimes
I cannot keep track and lots of great shows go unnoticed.
Shonda Rhimes
Most of the women I saw on TV didn't seem like people I actually knew. They felt like ideas of what women are.
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
My parents created a world in which the only barrier to your success is your own imagination.
Shonda Rhimes
I happen to like debating, and I like to debate like a lawyer, and I can argue any points to death, and I will.
Shonda Rhimes
This moment right here, me standing up here all brown with my boobs and my Thursday night of network television full of women of color, competitive women, strong women, women who own their bodies and whose lives revolve around their work instead of their men, women who are big dogs, that could only be happening right now.
Shonda Rhimes
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
Everyone always says to me, 'Why aren't there more people of color on television?' I'm like, 'Why don't you ask a bunch of people who aren't putting people of color on television why there aren't more people of color on television?'
Shonda Rhimes
You are not alone. You are seen. I am with you. You are not alone.
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.
Shonda Rhimes
Cynicism is a choice. Optimism is a better choice.
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
At some point, you have to make a decision. Boundaries don't keep other people out. They fence you in. Life is messy. That's how we're made. So, you can waste your lives drawing lines. Or you can live your life crossing them
