There are so many untold stories when it comes to great women of color  (Kerry Washington Quotes) About a year ago I got really exhausted from reading bad scripts and I know that I am a writer and that I have stories to tell, so I thought, ‘Let’s do this!’ So I’m co-writing a screenplay now with another screenwriter and loving it. Absolutely loving it. And I would like to be the producer on the project and of course the lead is me  (Kerry Washington Quotes) The No. 1 reason women stay in abusive relationships - because they’re not able to take care of themselves financially. It’s also the No. 1 reason why women go back  (Kerry Washington Quotes) You’re able to make a real difference. If a woman’s able to step away financially, she’s able to begin to do all the other work  (Kerry Washington Quotes) When somebody shows up at your job and jeopardizes your job, yelling and screaming, that’s financial abuse. It threatens your ability to take care of yourself  (Kerry Washington Quotes) From what I’ve been told, the scariest part of being part of a domestic abuse relationship is the idea that you cannot escape and you cannot get help, that feeling of being stuck  (Kerry Washington Quotes) Whenever I talk to survivors [of a domestic abuse relationship] who have lived through that and are on the other side and their whole perspective on life is a complete 180, I’m just so inspired  (Kerry Washington Quotes) I think all of us in our lives feel like we can’t make a difference or we can’t make a change or it’s too late or we’re too tired or we’re too scared  (Kerry Washington Quotes) To meet somebody who’s able to harness the level of courage it takes to walk away and to choose your own life and your own health, the well-being of your family, is really inspiring  (Kerry Washington Quotes) Today there are people trying to take away rights that our mothers, grandmothers and great-grandmothers fought for: our right to vote, our right to choose, affordable quality education, equal pay, access to health care. We the people can’t let that happen  (Kerry Washington Quotes) I wouldn’t just come home from school and watch TV everyday, they had me involved in lots of local theatre. I was a very dramatic, talkative child. And that was part of my mother’s creative solution - to put me in workshops and classes and children’s theatre programmes  (Kerry Washington Quotes) I’ll be honest with you. I’m a little bit of a loner. It’s been a big part of my maturing process to learn to allow people to support me. I tend to be very self-reliant and private. And I have this history of wanting to work things out on my own and protect people from what’s going on with me  (Kerry Washington Quotes) I feel like any single woman of color who’s been onstage has a Shakespeare monologue in her back pocket, and a monologue from ‘For Colored Girls.’ It’s just part of what you should have, as a woman of color  (Kerry Washington Quotes) I think most people, when they think about the Black Panther Party, they think in very abstract, caricatured terms. They think about black fists in the air, but they don’t think about the actual people, and the families, and the relationships  (Kerry Washington Quotes) I’m doing this play right now, the new David Mamet play. It’s called ‘Race,’ and it’s very interesting how people really leave the theater filled with the desire to talk about the play and the issues and the characters, and how they’re all navigating their personal views around race  (Kerry Washington Quotes) I’d never really heard of financial abuse, although it makes so much sense when you hear it defined  (Kerry Washington Quotes) Making the unbelievable believable is different on a set with ‘Fantastic Four,’ where it’s like, ‘Wind machines! Because the airship is coming in and you’re pretending to be afraid!  (Kerry Washington Quotes) I don’t have to be perfect. All I have to do is show up and enjoy the messy, imperfect and beautiful journey of my life.  (Kerry Washington Quotes) From what I’ve been told, the scariest part of being part of a domestic abuse relationship is the idea that you cannot escape and you cannot get help, that feeling of being stuck.  (Kerry Washington Quotes) I think my first big heartbreak made me more compassionate about other people’s heartaches. It enabled me to feel more for others when they are in moments of pain.  (Kerry Washington Quotes) The breakdown of the black community, in order to maintain slavery, began with the breakdown of the black family. Men and women were not legally allowed to get married because you couldn’t have that kind of love. It might get in the way of the economics of slavery. Your children could be taken from you and literally sold down the river.  (Kerry Washington Quotes) I really love research. It’s one of the things I love most about my job. I feel like it’s me in the lab cooking up the character.  (Kerry Washington Quotes) I don’t gravitate toward any one designer because I think of fashion as the costume of the everyday woman.  (Kerry Washington Quotes) I don’t think I’m even close to fulfilling my potential. And I think also that, unlike a pianist or a flutist, an actor has an instrument that is constantly changing.  (Kerry Washington Quotes) You know what’s funny is that I have this ongoing relationship with the city of Washington D.C.

Who knows who is going to be allowed to marry or not marry next.  (Kerry Washington Quotes) That’s what acting is - it’s about having the courage to allow your audience into the private moments of your characters’ lives.  (Kerry Washington Quotes) I’d never really heard of financial abuse, although it makes so much sense when you hear it defined.  (Kerry Washington Quotes) That’s what acting is - it’s about having the courage to allow your audience into the private moments of your characters’ lives  (Kerry Washington Quotes) I have a deep, deep love for sneakers  (Kerry Washington Quotes)
