'Grey's Anatomy' creator Shonda Rhimes has revealed she refuses to get married and admitted it was ''fantastic'' telling her family the decision she'd made.

The 'Grey's Anatomy' creator has insisted she has no plans to ever tie the knot after penning a storyline for one of her characters.

She told Entertainment Weekly: ''I was seriously dating somebody and I was like, I don't want to do this. I guess I had been secretly feeling that way and writing it for Cristina.

''We're all so conditioned to want it, I felt like there must be something wrong with me. But the minute I said it out loud to my family, it was fantastic. ''Now if somebody says, 'Are you looking for that?' I say, 'Nope, looking for a boyfriend, not a husband.

And there's a freedom to that. There's no pressure if you're not looking for it.'' And Shonda, who is behind the success of TV show 'Scandal', will have a lot to be pleased about as she has a long list of celebrities desperate to get their hands on one of her scripts including 'Glee's Lea Michele.

The 28-year-old beauty said recently: ''Shonda, call. Like, what the hell? I'm ready. Put me in scrubs. I'd love a little arc. Just a little arc.''
