Katie Lowes: I feel really lucky my Scandal role got more compelling while I was pregnant

"It's so fun to play," she tells Elle says of Quinn Perkins. "I mean, especially when you're 38 weeks pregnant.  I feel really lucky that in this final season, Quinn has gotten to do a lot of heavy lifting. And I also just feel like it's such a testament to where I work. Because it's not like I told Shonda (Rhimes) I was pregnant and all of a sudden I'm completely written out, and being treated as if something was wrong. It's like, 'Oh, no, no. You're pregnant, now you're gonna run (Olivia Pope and Associates), and you're gonna be asked to do all these amazing things, because it's possible.' You can be pregnant, and be playing a pregnant character who's also a badass. And kicking a**, and taking names."
