In an interview with People magazine, Kerry Washington says she is very happy with her life right now.

The actress feels “blessed” after getting married and being nominated for an Emmy and has never been more content with all aspects of her life. She said: “I don’t talk about my personal life in the press, but I will say I’m really happy. I’m blessed in all areas of my life. I’m the luckiest broad in showbiz. I just feel really blessed and humbled and grateful for this nomination.”

Kerry recently admitted she didn’t really want to be an actress, nor she wanted fame. “I’m the daughter of a professor, so … well, I think acting’s not a real job. I come from this sort of academic, working middle-class family where you make something respectable of your life … I always loved acting, but I think for a long time, in my brain, the desire to be an actor was equivalent to the desire to be famous. I did not want to be famous. I did not want to be that girl. I thought that if you wanted to be an actress, you had to want to be on the front cover of magazines, otherwise you shouldn’t do it,” she said.
