"Even though Olivia Pope has obviously made the decision that she is not a mom, playing her made me feel like I could be a mom. Because she knows there's always another way- there's always a way to fix it, there's always a way to solve it, to win."

She continued: "And I feel like playing her made me feel like, All right, I can do it. I will figure out how to juggle it all."

The beauty also singled out creator of Scandal , Shonda Rhimes, for praise.

"She's been such an amazing resource, as a mom, and as a working mom… I am on one show and I have one kid, and she has three shows and kids," she said.
