Hi, Amy.
How does Kerry Washington view her role in 'The Amazing Race'?
How are you?
Thank you for talking to us today because I have to say that The relationship that you and Carrie had on screen and off screen is really, really wonderful to watch. And people are very invested in it. And what I have to say is what I glean from the way you two interact with each other is a deep mutual respect. deep, deep respect for the way you work and the kind of people that you are. Can you tell us how you first met?
What unique perspectives does Kerry Washington bring to 'Imperfect Women'?
My first recollection we may have met briefly before this was at the Democratic Convention when Obama became president in 2008 in Denver, which was a really incredible experience.
I bet.
And then we kind of became friends through kind of social activism and stuff, but didn't know each other well. But for me, when Shonda asked me to do Scandal and she told me Kerry Washington was doing it, Kerry was an actress who every time I saw her in a movie, I found myself going, who is that actress in that role? Because she was so different in every movie she did. And at the end of the credits, I'd look and I'd go, oh my God, that's Kerry Washington. She just was so great. And everything I saw, whether it was Ray or Last King of Scotland, I remember seeing her in it. But again, totally different than anything I'd seen. So I was just like, God, I hope I get a chance to work with her. So when Shonda said to me, she's like, are you playing the president in my new show?
And I was like, well, Shonda Rhimes writing a president, that'd be pretty interesting. When she said Kerry Washington, I was like, you and Kerry Washington, I'm in.
Had you known Shonda before? Had you worked with Shonda before?
Yeah, I met Shonda. I directed the, I think the second or third episode of Grey's Anatomy.
Oh, wow.
Yeah, it was one of the first TV things I'd done. I directed a couple of movies and then Betsy Beers, Shonda's partner, called me and said, you know, we'd like, would you consider doing Grey's Anatomy? And I saw the pilot of that show and said, wow, this is amazing. Of course. And I was just getting used to directing TV. So I did that. And Shonda and I met and she was... Brand new to television. Little did we know she was going to become Empress of the Universe.
