More quotes by 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
Nobody ever asks a man how he gets stuff done. Nobody asks a man how he finds balance.
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 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
I am terrible with examples. I can never think of them when anybody asks for an example.
Shonda Rhimes
Cynicism is a choice. Optimism is a better choice.

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

The expected is what keeps us steady. It's the unexpected that changes our lives forever.

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.

You can waste your lives drawing lines. Or you can live your life crossing them.
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.
Shonda Rhimes
I cannot keep track and lots of great shows go unnoticed.
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
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.
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
Nobody got anything great by playing it safe.
Shonda Rhimes
Mother is a verb, not a noun.
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
My parents created a world in which the only barrier to your success is your own imagination.
