You've had so many memorable roles before 'Grey's' ... what do fans most often mention to you besides 'GA'?
Well, I think that before 'Grey's,' I was more known for comedy, and that's why 'Grey's' was such a huge gift, because Shonda Rhimes is so great at writing funny and drama all in one. But in terms of specific roles, 'The Drew Carey Show' definitely, because it was such a funny and strange role. It was my first big thing out here in TV, and it was me in a fat suit on his show. I had such a good time.
You have! And I keep seeing you pop up wearing fabulous dresses in all the celeb and fashion magazines. I think you are one of the best dressed actresses in Hollywood these days.
Oh, stop it! I have this team, I literally have a team of experts who are working in a lab 24/7 trying to find great things. No, but honestly, it does take a village. (Laughs) You know, another of the really great parts of the fantastic dream that I am living is that the more success you get, the more you have great people who want to work with you. I've always been pretty lucky to be a working actor, but at the level of 'Grey's,' to be catapulted into that kind of exposure and success, there's just no way any one person can handle it. You have to have people helping you out and taking care of you along the way, so ... that was a long, rambling response to your lovely compliment, but it's true.
That's refreshing to hear though, because a lot of people kind of pretend that's not the case.
Yeah, that's the illusion. But I have a trainer, and someone who goes and finds lovely clothes and someone who can make my hair look great, and make-up and all of that. Left to my own devices, who knows what would happen.
Perhaps that stylist will be picking out a special Emmy dress in the near future ...
Yeah! We'll see. I keep forgetting that those are coming around soon with everything else that's going on.
One more thing, and I'm sure you're tired of answering questions about it, but what are your thoughts now on the Isaiah Washington situation at 'Grey's Anatomy'?
You know, I've let it go at this point. I talked about it, but then I've also moved on. I leave that to ABC to handle. I feel like that's their issue, and it's really up to him and ABC to handle now. It's really not anyone else's business. I think he's a great guy, and I wish him the best of luck. He's a wonderful actor.
