In a new interview with 'W Magazine,' Kerry Washington explained that she keeps trying to step away from Hollywood, but special projects keep pulling her back into the entertainment industry both in front of and behind the camera.
Washington explained that she's repeatedly tried to step away from the spotlight, only to find herself drawn back to a passion project. It's happened so often, in fact, that she credits it as the reason why she's been able to work for so long.
"I am always quitting this business, and then right when I decide that I’m done is when something extraordinary comes across my desk," she revealed. "I was really, really done with this business right before I read the script forThe Last King of Scotland. This is what happens again and again."
