In 2023, Ellen Pompeo has reduced her role in Grey's Anatomy to focus on her family and pursue new creative opportunities, including the Hulu series Good American Family. She reflects on prioritizing her home life over career aspirations, expressing that her childhood experiences influenced her desire for a happy family. Ellen's financial success from Grey's has provided her with security, which she values highly, and she candidly discusses the challenges of repetitiveness in long-running series, revealing her eagerness for creative change within the show's constraints.
"I made choices to stay on the show. For me, a healthy home life was more important than a career. I didn't grow up with a particularly happy childhood."
"The best thing is the financial security if I'm being very honest. It's been really lucrative, and I think financial security is not something that every actress is afforded."
