Ellen Pompeo Quotes
“Derek Shepherd is the sweet sensitive type. Whether or not he makes bad decisions, there’s always nobleness about him that’s very attractive. Patrick is more complex and interesting than Derek. He has those smiling Irish eyes and a bubbly, fun personality. Regardless of how everyone praises him or the attention he gets, he’s in on the joke and he knows the reality of the situation- that fame and looks are fleeting… He appreciates what he has- that Hollywood is a means to an end. It’s a way to get back to Maine with his family, which is ultimately where he wants to be. He knows what’s real in life, and that’s his family. He lives and breathes for those kids. He’s so excited about having twin boys. And Talula is daddy’s little girl. She can do no wrong in his eyes– until she’s 16 and starts dating!”

“It’s gross. We use real brains. I think they’re lamb or cow or something. Intestines smell. Brains don’t really smell, but what’s amazing about the brain is that it’s almost like scrambled eggs or soft tofu, almost like a gel. The brain controls so much of what we do, but you could put your finger right through it.”
-on filming Grey’s Anatomy
“The trap is when you start to pay attention to that stuff and care, because in six months, they’re going to be looking at someone else. You know how fickle everyone is. They love it, then they hate it, then they love it. So I’m going to enjoy it because it could be over at any minute.”
- On fame
“It’s pretty remarkable how many people the show touches… I think we are very lucky in that way so, I love when the fans come up to us because they usually have really interesting stories. We are very grateful to the fans, we would have no show without them, you know? You could have the best writing in the world, and you could have the best acting in the world, but if the fans don’t tune in every week, there’s no show. So, I think we have them to be the most thankful for.”
“The chemistry between the cast is very important. We’re a family and have respect for each other. And we have fun, which comes across.”
