“People always say to me, like, how do you deal
with the challenges of being a woman in this industry? Or how do you deal with
the challenges of being black in this industry? And, I say like, I don’t really
have time to worry about the fact that somebody else has a problem with the
fact that I have a vagina.” – Shonda Rhimes [Link]
