A glimpse at Kerry Washington‘s interview with Marie Claire;

On her daughter, Isabelle:

I just want my daughter to know she’s heard. Really heard, because I feel like that is what we all really want. When I think abut any of the missteps inmy ife that I’ve made, all of which I’m grateful for, it’s because I just so wanted to be truly seen and heard for who I am and was afraid I wasn’t or wouldn’t be. I see you, I hear you, I’m with you as you are.

On Olivia Pope:

I don’t think I consciously say, ‘What would Olivia Pope do?’ but there’s a new thread of belief in my own capacity that I think comes from her. She makes it happen. She figures it out. She fixes it.

On growing up insecure:

I didn’t grow up thinking I was pretty; therewas always a prettier girl than me. So I learned to be smart and tried to be funny and develop the inside of me, because I felt like that’s what I had.

On being private:

Earlier in my carrer I was much more super-sharey. There were moments when I wanted to process things that were happening to me more privately, and I didn’t have the space to do it, because once you let people in, they’re in and you don’t get to say,’Oh, I want this for myself.
