Kerry Washington on Shonda Rhimes

In her interview, Kerry talks about ‘Scandal’ showrunner Shonda Rhimes and how she inspires her. “Shonda’s got I-don’t-know-how-many shows now, plus three kids, and she just figures it out,” says Washington. “However busy I feel, Shonda feels busier, so I’m just going to rise to the occasion. She’s been a real role model. Seeing the community she’s created and the work ethic – I feel like there should be more of this in the world.”
