Shonda Rhimes Quotes

Boundaries don't keep other people out, they fence you in Picture Quote #1

Calling a show a ‘guilty pleasure’ is like saying ‘I’m embarrassed to say I watch it but I can’t stop.’ That’s not a compliment Picture Quote #1

I am terrible with examples. I can never think of them when anybody asks for an example Picture Quote #1

I think I’m most proud of the fact that I have figured out how to exist as both a creative person and artist, and a businesswoman and manager. Because those two things do not go together Picture Quote #1

When the press began asking me for interviews, I freaked out. My instinct is to hide Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

The best stories are often true... The narrative of human life is most beautiful when told truthfully and without boundaries Picture Quote #1

The only limit to success is your own imagination Picture Quote #1

Ditch the dream and be a doer Picture Quote #1

I actually like being alone. I spend most evenings reading and taking long baths Picture Quote #1

You are not alone. You are seen. I am with you. You are not alone Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Cynicism is a choice. Optimism is a better choice Picture Quote #1

I was 4 and dictating stories into a tape recorder, and my mom typed them up Picture Quote #1

You can waste your lives drawing lines. Or you can live your life crossing them Picture Quote #1

Mother is not a title. Mother is a verb. It is not who you are. It’s what you do Picture Quote #1

When people show you who they are, believe them. I carry that with me a lot. It has served me well Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Whenever you see me somewhere succeeding in one area of my life, that almost certainly means I am failing in another area of my life Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

The expected is what keeps us steady. It’s the unexpected that changes our lives forever Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I remember saying, very almost jokingly, I’m going to take over the world through television, that’s my plan. And I said it to my agent, and I said it to my friends, and I said it to myself Picture Quote #1

We all think we’re going to be great and we feel a little bit robbed when our expectations aren’t met. But sometimes our expectations sell us short. Sometimes the expected simply pales in comparison to the unexpected. You got to wonder why we cling to our expectations, because the expected is just what keeps us steady. Standing. Still. The expected’s just the beginning, the unexpected is what changes our lives Picture Quote #1

At the end of the day, when it comes down to it, all we really want is to be close to somebody. So this thing where we all keep our distance and pretend not to care about each other, it’s usually a load of bull. So we pick and choose who we want to remain close to, and once we’ve chosen those people, we tend to stick close by. No matter how much we hurt them. The people that are still with you at the end of the day, those are the ones worth keeping. And sure, sometimes close can be too close. But sometimes, that invasion of personal space, it can be exactly what you need Picture Quote #1

You never know the biggest day of your life is your biggest day, not until it’s happening. You don’t recognize the biggest day of your life, not until you’re right in the middle of it. The day you commit to something or someone. The day you get your heart broken. The day you meet your soul mate. The day you realize there’s not enough time because you wanna live forever. Those are the biggest days. The perfect days Picture Quote #1
