Kerry Washington Covers Parade Magazine

The star covers the latest issue of Parade Magazine and talks about transitioning from playing a slave in  "Django Unchained" to her character as Olivia Pope on the hit show "Scandal"

“I feel like I barely survived Django emotionally. The violence. Hearing the N-word every day. It cost me a lot psychologically, but it was worth it to tell that story.”
“I had two days between finishing Django and starting up again on Scandal. It was nuts. That first day back I had to walk across the Rose Garden in heels. I thought, ‘I don’t remember how to walk like Olivia Pope anymore. ‘ I’d been barefoot in the woods for months playing a slave.”
