Shonda Rhimes

Saying small yeses.

Like the thing that I think is interesting is we all think that you have to make this huge, big change all at once.

Even my doctor was like, that's a crazy idea.

You can't do that.

It's about doing little small things first, you know, and it sounds really simple.

It's not.

Everybody knows losing weight is genetic and physical and all kinds of other things, but

Finding small things for whatever it is that's bothering you to make small steps and small yeses and small changes at least gets you on the path.

I mean, I'm a person who loves weddings.

I really am.

That's not a surprise, Shonda.

I mean, think about what I write.

I've planned every character's wedding, like literally like sat and helped plan every character's wedding on Grey's for years and years.

And when Olivia Pope got married in her dream sequence, I planned that wedding too.

All of those things were true.

And I love love, obviously.

I write about it all the time.

But I had been a person who my whole life, I had been... I could imagine being a mom from the time I was a kid.

There was never a husband involved.

I always say, like, I had a Ken doll and I kept Barbie shoes in his head.
