The goal for Shondaland is to continue to make very good shows that we're proud of when they're ready.

Your structure and format may not be perfect, and you may not have picked the perfect franchise, but if I pick up a script, and the characters are real, whole, complicated and come from a place of somebody who really is feeling it, that's what people remember.

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.

Being a little bit of a movie buff, the fact that I'm working in the middle of movie history is incredible.
