I record a podcast, 'Shondaland Revealed,' every week while we are shooting.

Every movie I touched bombed.

In a world where shows have to keep going while the priorities change, I have to stay flexible.

I like to exercise in the morning before work. It puts me in a good mood, which makes my coworkers happy, and jump-starts my brain, which makes me happy.

As much as I was encouraged by the number of female-centric shows being bandied about, it feels like we're being treated like a trend or a quota to be filled.

I'm very dogged when I believe in something. I'm also dark and twisty.
