“I am not lucky. You know what I am? I am smart. I am talented. I take advantage of the opportunities that come my way and I work really, really hard. Don't call me lucky. Call me a badass”
— Shonda Rhimes
Simplified Meaning:
The person is saying they succeed because they are smart, skilled, and work very hard, not because of luck. They want to be respected as someone strong and capable.
