When Shonda Rhimes calls, you feel like you get called into the principal's office a little bit, and you think, 'Maybe I better take that call.'

Jason Winston George

I already knew, of course, about the juggernaut that is Shonda Rhimes and the cultural significance of her.

Jonathan Bailey

There's a lot of progress happening in TV. You have amazing shows like 'How to Get Away With Murder.' You have people like Shonda Rhimes, Lee Daniels with 'Empire,' and Jason Katims with 'Friday Night Lights' and 'Parenthood.' You have people behind the scenes writing complex women.

Jurnee Smollett-Bell

All I remember is being like, 'Oh, that's Shonda Rhimes,' and getting a bit nervous.

Phoebe Dynevor

For me, Shonda Rhimes is an amazing person that I look up to. She empowered a lot of her writers to go on and do other things while, at the same time, she made sure she kept her stamp on those things and grew her business.

Kenya Barris

My hat's off to Shonda Rhimes.

Octavia Spencer

Shonda Rhimes is at the top of television.

Wes Brown

Tina Fey's autobiography is very, very funny and very well written. It's her life story: it's about how she grows up in New York. There's no obvious reason why I should enjoy this - I mean, this is the autobiography of a woman in her early 40s in New York. I'm a guy from a small town in Denmark.

Nikolaj Coster-Waldau

To work for Shonda Rhimes is heaven. It's been amazing.

Joe Morton

I think Shonda Rhimes came to change television for women forever.

Karla Souza

[Rhimes and Pete Nowalk] have definitely, from the pilot [of How to Get Away with Murder], brought forth a woman who is unapologetically herself, unapologetically flawed, and is as vulnerable as she is powerful. I'm grateful to be in that family.

Karla Souza

I don't profess to be Shonda Rhimes by any stretch of the imagination, or Dick Wolf. They're icons. I'm a filmmaker.

Lee Daniels

I've met Shonda Rhimes a few times, and certainly she's an inspiration for me in television.

Lee Daniels

Shonda Rhimes has figured it out, of getting multiracial casts on television and appealing to everybody.

Justin Simien

I think it's well-known that I love all things ABC and Shonda Rhimes - I'm a huge 'Scandal' and 'Grey's Anatomy' fan.

Aja Naomi King

For me, having a baby was never going to be timed randomly. I wanted to have mine while I was on 'Scandal.' Kerry Washington is one of my best friends, and I've gotten to watch her go through motherhood. I also have the greatest female boss in Shonda Rhimes, who is a mother of three and a huge advocate for women.
