“For me, being successful meant not having to do my laundry at a laundr...” — Darby Stanchfield Quote

For me, being successful meant not having to do my laundry at a laundromat and not having a second job.

I love seeing a young woman embrace who she is.

I'm a very private person, so I didn't like this idea of tweeting about me. And then I realized, 'Oh, this is actually a brilliant device in terms of interacting with the fans'. It's a lovely way to just get back, to thank the fans for watching the show. And to live tweet is kind of like getting the rewards of doing live theatre.

I would rather be working than be on vacation. Always.

Over at the Olivia Pope & Associates set, we're like middle school children. Every time there's a cut in the action, we joke and dance around; there's show tunes and fart noises.

I do the laundry, cook all the meals, take care of my kids and I love it.

I procrastinate all morning. That's when I get my office work done and answer e-mails and see what's on the Internet and do laundry.

I had to grow up quite fast, trying to cook for myself, trying to make laundry.

I know how to separate my own laundry.

Don't judge. I used to buy underwear because I didn't do my laundry.
