"\\nCosmo: What's it like working for Scandal creator Shonda Rhimes?Katie Lowes: It is the probably the biggest inspirational place I have ever gotten to work. I've heard horror stories about women on shows, where it can be very competitive. Shonda has the no a-hole policy. She does background checks on everyone working on set to make sure you're a great person. It's probably why Scandal has been such a success.C: Is Kerry Washington as awesome as she seems?KL: Kerry Washington is a mentor to me. She is so strong and smart. She's also so giving and supportive. She has really helped me through this whole journey. I'm new to the business. Kerry is a true leader and a gift of an actress to work with.\n\tAdvertisement - Continue Reading Below\n\t\n\nC: How do you keep up with all the crazy plotlines?\n\nKL: Because there are so many twists and turns, we rehearse on our lunch breaks. We always quiz each other, making sure that we know the stories.C: For a while Quinn's been on the sideline digging for her \"scandal,\" is she done with this?KL: She really took charge in the episode \"Truth or Consequences.\" You saw her making the decision that she's Olivia Pope and Associates or die. You will see on the following episode that there's a little more to her back story. She has to make the decision if she is ready to write off her previous life and forget about the awful things that happened before. C: Can you give us a clue as to what we should expect next?KL: You're gunna see stuff come to a huge boiling head on Feb. 7. All these storylines (who shot Fitz, Mellie inducing her labor, Olivia rigging the election, and etc.) come to their major final point. You will see how everything connects together. It might be the best episode we've ever done. My favorite scene (I'm not in it) is in this episode. It's a long scene and is almost like a theatrical piece.C: Okay. We kind of dislike Edison right now. Do you think he can be trusted?KL: Well, everyone on this show is in a grey area. Everything is complex. Some weeks you can feel like you like them and then the next week you feel like you don't. But you're right to not fully trust Edison. Everyone is a possible enemy.P.S. The guy who plays Jesse Tyler (Quinn's ex) on the show is actually Katie Lowes' husband in real life. They've been together for six years. Talk about office romance...Make sure you catch Scandal every Thursday night at 10 p.m. on ABC."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
