When people show you who they are, believe them. I carry that with me a lot. It has served me well.
Shonda Rhimes
Mother is not a title. Mother is a verb. It is not who you are. It's what you do.
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.

Ive 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.

We spend our whole lives worrying about the future, planning for the future, trying to predict the future, as if figuring it out will cushion the blow. But the future is always changing. The future is the home of our deepest fears and wildest hopes. But one thing is certain when it finally reveals itself. The future is never the way we imagined it.

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.

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
My parents created a world in which the only barrier to your success is your own imagination.
Shonda Rhimes
You are not alone. You are seen. I am with you. You are not alone.
Shonda Rhimes
I cannot keep track and lots of great shows go unnoticed.
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
Cynicism is a choice. Optimism is a better choice.
Shonda Rhimes
Mother is a verb, not a noun.
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
Nobody ever asks a man how he gets stuff done. Nobody asks a man how he finds balance.
