Ellen Pompeo discusses her 20-year journey on Grey's Anatomy, sharing mixed emotions about her iconic role as Meredith Grey. Financial security has been a major benefit, providing stability rarely afforded to actresses. However, she acknowledges the difficulty in keeping the show fresh due to its repetitive nature. Despite this, Pompeo expresses gratitude for Grey’s impact, particularly how it has inspired many to pursue careers in medicine. As she continues with the series, she looks forward to new opportunities like her role in Good American Family.
"The best thing is the financial security...it's been really lucrative, and financial security is not something that every actress is afforded."
"The hardest thing is the repetitive nature of doing the same thing over and over...there's a familiarity with Grey's that people love. So, we can't change it too much."
"I'm always like, Let's do this! And let's do that! And they're like, 'Shut up, Ellen. We're not doing that,'" she joked.
"I'm grateful for my encounters with real-life doctors who felt led to the medical field thanks to Grey's Anatomy. It brings people together."
