If you can believe it, the phenom called herself burnt out at one point not long ago, and began a journey that included losing more than 100 pounds and spending more time with family.

"A dream job is not about dreaming," she says. "It's all job, all work, all reality, all blood, all sweat, no tears. I work a lot. For me my work is at all times...manning the troops, it is painting a canvas, it is hitting every high note, it is running a marathon, it is being Beyoncé."

This probably shouldn't be a surprise Shonda is in the Queen B formation - both ladies run their respective world, right?
