Shonda Rhimes talks Grey’s Anatomy Episode 300 and not getting a bigger slice of the $2 billion in show earnings

The Hollywood Reporter

What would she have done differently? “I probably would have had better contracts to start with. The show has made $2 billion or so, and these are not $2 billion shoes,” Rhimes says in an interview with her and longtime producing partner Betsy Beers. But in reality, Rhimes says that even if they earned a lot more money, “we'd probably still be working, that's the problem. Every choice we've made, it's why the show works the way it does. Every time the interns were learning, we were learning.”
