The only limit to success is your own imagination.
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
You are not alone. You are seen. I am with you. You are not alone.
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.

I never, ever pay attention to the ratings. I stopped paying attention to the ratings somewhere around season two or three of Grey's. It's something I have no control over, so I don't even pay attention.

Mother is not a title. Mother is a verb. It is not who you are. It's what you do.
Shonda Rhimes
Nobody ever asks a man how he gets stuff done. Nobody asks a man how he finds balance.
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
Mother is a verb, not a noun.
Shonda Rhimes
The expected is what keeps us steady. It's the unexpected that changes our lives forever.
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
Nobody got anything great by playing it safe.
Shonda Rhimes
My parents created a world in which the only barrier to your success is your own imagination.
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
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
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
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
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
Shonda Rhimes
You can waste your lives drawing lines. Or you can live your life crossing them.
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.
