"It means that I'm at home, that's what I feel like," Viola Davis told E! News about working n Shondaland. "I feel like I'm at a place that gets me, that encourages me, that understands me and that's really important as an artist."

"It's a great utopia. The water flows like wine," Matt McGorry told us at the PaleyFest New York event honoring HTGAWM. "The other way around, maybe? It depends what your preference is. Either way, it flows well."
Hear what the rest of the cast, including Aja Naomi King, Jack Falahee and Liza Weil had to say about being citizens of Shondaland in the video above. Please note: The Shondaland the cast of How To Get Away With Murder talks about should not be confused with Billy Eichner's Shondaland. Amy Sedaris is the mayor there.
