Scandal Star,"Olivia Pope", real name Kerry Marisa Washington, has vowed never to be quiet about her beliefs.

The 38-year-old actress explained, "It's important to my parents, so this is who I would be, regardless of my fame". "I have to make sure that I don't silence myself about the things that I believe in, because sometimes the fear creeps in of, 'What if fewer people watch the show, or fewer people hire me because I express my politics?' For me, the commitment is to never be quiet just because I'm in the public eye."

Kerry continued, "I remember they were feeling nervous about how it was going to do overseas, because political shows don't always do so well. But it's not just about politics, it's about these really flawed, imperfect, three-dimensional people. I love that these characters are resonating across borders".

Kerry added, she was excited that the programme has been a hit as she experienced  some peaks and troughs in her career.
