Quotes

Interviewer: You’re just having sex in bed’s and closets.
Ellen: Yeah for now I'm fine kissing Patrick Dempsey. I don't care where it goes.
Patrick: I hope we can continue to sleep together. I would like to see that develop.
Interviewer: Yeah she said she wouldn't mind kissing you continuously.
Patrick: Yeah that's great. That's good. I don't mind kissing her either.
~ Etalk Daily

When instructed to keep his hands off that skeezy tramp who showed up in the finale to mess with Meredith (Ellen Pompeo), P. Dempsey just laughed. "I know, I love [Ellen]. We hadn't met before the show, but oddly enough we're neighbors. And we met each other at the dog park. She has a wonderful quality and a great laugh. You look at her eyes, and there's a lot of depth there and a lot of humanity. So, I'll do my best!"
~ Eonline – May 27, 2005

Patrick told me: "You will find clarity, very soon" with the love triangle between Ellen Pompeo's character Meredith, Addison and himself. When asked if there's any hope for him and Meredith, he says, "I hope so! I love Ellen Pompeo."
~ Eonline - August 5, 2005

On casting the leads, Ellen Pompeo [Dr. Meredith Grey] and Patrick Dempsey [Dr. Derek Shepard, a.k.a. Dr. McDreamy]: "I kept saying we need a girl like that girl from 'Moonlight Mile,' and after a while, they were like, 'We think we can get that girl from 'Moonlight Mile.' I spent time with her and got to know her, and then we started casting for the men.
"We brought in a lot of guys [for Shepard]. Ellen wasn't an easy role to cast, but Derek was really not an easy role to cast either. You had to believe he was intelligent, so you can believe he's a brain surgeon. And while you're watching, you'd be like, 'I wish my boyfriend looked like that.' [laughs] But he had to be rugged, not pretty. Handsome, sexy, but not in an obvious way, sexy in a smart way.
"He had to be able to pull off being really witty and you had to believe he'd care about people too. This was not easy to find! Patrick came in and he was just perfect. It was one of those moments when you're like, 'This is why I'm a writer.' There was just great chemistry, they were fun and flirty and it was just right."
~ Shonda Rhimes - Chicago Tribune - September 30, 2005

Are you 2 friend now?
Patrick Dempsey: Yeah, she's from Boston, and when I heard her accent , I was like "I love you"! You're New EnglandGirl". I really like working with her. We have great chemistry, and I think it's why the show is the way it is...... because we get along.
~ Cosmpolitan - February 2006

When asked how the cast resembled its characters, Pompeo grinned and pointed at Dempsey.
"I haven't publicly said this before, but I do have a crush on him," Pompeo said.
"Well, I have a crush on you, too," Dempsey, who is married to Jillian Fink, shot back, to sighs and whoops from the audience.
~ Paley Festival – February 28, 2006

“Patrick [Dempsey] is the same as me, in that if we don’t go to the gym, we feel weak.”
~ Self - March 2006

“He’s not trying too hard,” explains Pompeo, who plays the title character, Meredith Grey. “He’s sexier because he’s not chasing anything anymore. It’s a law of physics—when you run after something, it runs away from you.”
~ Details - March 2006

“I'm really partial to the [Derek-Meredith] love scene, which was beautiful. [Director] Mark Tinker shot a beautiful love scene. And Patrick and Ellen both had a lot of fun and threw themselves into it. And also because of what it meant for Meredith and Derek.”
~ Shonda Rhimes - TV Guide - May 2006

"Patrick is very charming and funny. He's a one-stop source of one-liners. Ellen was trying to concentrate so hard on getting the right shot, and he kept cracking her up. There was such great energy the whole day."
"Our customer is very invested in TV, what's going on, who's hot. Nothing's hotter than Grey's Anatomy, and that's why Ellen and Patrick were such a perfect fit. All of America is waiting for them to get together and we guessed that the season would end the way it did," the exec said.
~ NY&CO exec. - June 2006

Ellen mentioned that there was chemistry between the pair of you that was immediately apparent?
Patrick Dempsey: “She has a really great laugh that sort of grabs you right away, and we are very comfortable together and it just worked out. She is extremely endearing.”
~ 7days.ae - June 5, 2006

Ellen Pompeo: "I auditioned with many male actors and Patrick was the one with whom I had the most chemistry," Pompeo says in her characteristically staccato yet measured tone.
"He was my first choice but the network had the ultimate decision. I'm very lucky to have him as my co-star as we get on well. He makes it very easy."
~ News.com.au - July 25, 2006

Regardless, Ellen has far more important things on her mind, like, what was it? Oh yeah, making out with cute boys. And though she won't say whether she thinks McDreamy or McVet is a better match for Meredith, Ellen will say this about her costars in real life: "Chris O'Donnell is adorable, but he isn't really my type. He's a little clean-cut for me. He's not dangerous enough--no tattoos. Whereas Patrick's more grumpy, so he has more of an edge. You know, in real life, he's grumpier and has more to say. But Chris is just so nice all the time! I don't know. Honestly, they're both just too hot."
~ Eonline - August 4, 2006

"I really enjoy working with Ellen. She has a good energy, photographs well and we have great chemistry. I am glad I [decided to do the ad]," Patrick tells ET.
~ ETOnline - August 8, 2006

"I honestly wasn't that aware of Patrick during the '80s," she admits. "The very first time I met him, I was absolutely sure that he was my guy. Reading the lines of Derek Shepherd, Patrick had a vulnerable charm that I just fell for. And he had amazing chemistry with Ellen Pompeo," who plays Meredith Grey, a surgical intern who is currently embroiled in a love triangle with the handsome doc.
~ Shonda Rhimes - USA Weekend - April 30, 2006

"Dr. McDreamy, that's what I call Patrick's character," says "Grey's Anatomy" star Ellen Pompeo, about her blue-eyed TV boss/boyfriend, Dr. Derek Shepherd, played by Patrick Dempsey. "He's gorgeous, he's got a great body, and he's got damn fine hair."
~ Business Wire - June 30, 2005

Patrick Dempsey: "Her eyes are alive - they pull you in. She's thruthful, emotional, intelligent, and real. She doesn't overanalyze things, but if she has something to say, you listen cause she's probably right. All these guys I know are completely in love with her. And woman want to be her friend."
~ Life Magazine - 2005

"They force me to work with him," Ellen Pompeo jokes about Patrick Dempsey. "They offered me more money to put up with him, so i agreed!"
~ TV Guide - September 7-13, 2005

Nowadays when people approach her on the street, she said, "Everybody wants to know what it's like to kiss Patrick Dempsey."
Naturally we had to ask. "You know, it's absolutely terrible, and I'm sick of it," she said with a playful grin. "And I'm sure his wife is sick of hearing me explain it."
~ seattlepi.com - September 20, 2005

"It's freezing in the shower and not as glamorous as it looks" Ellen allows. "Patrick is adorable but very married in real life and I'm good friends with his wife, so it's tough predicament".
~ TV Guide - November 7-13, 2005 issue

"You'd think they were a couple" says photographer Rodelio Astudillo who was snapping away behind the scenes at Brian Bowen Smith's photoshoot."Their spouses have to be really understanding. In fact Patrick and Ellen were joking about it!"
~ TV Guide - January 2006

Patrick Dempsey in an inteview last year describe Ellen's eyes "as having this kind of LIGHT behind them."
~ Regis and Kelly - May 17, 2005

"It's awkwards with Patrick because he's like my brother," Pompeo says. "As soon as the camera is off, I'm like, 'Is your hand on my butt?' But there are millions of girls who have been waiting for this, so I feel an obligaton to the fans."
~ Entertainment Weekly - September 8, 2006

Meredith Grey and Dr. Shepherd...
"They're played by Ellen Pompeo and Patrick Dempsey, both attractive in a weathered way that goes well with Seattle damp. They have more chemistry riding up in a elevator in their scrubs and lab coats than most people naked together in bed."
~ People Magazine - December 12, 2005

"Can you get any better then Patrick Dempsey? I don't think so!"
~ Ellen Pompeo (Season 2 DVD Release Party) - Hollywood.com - September 5, 2006

The chemistry between Meredith and Derek is very realistic...
Patrick: "Ellen (Pompeo) has a depth behind her eyes that's just incredible. She says one thing, but she's thinking something else, which is intriguing. She's really beautiful and has a great laugh that's infectious, and all those things came together and made me feel really relaxed. I think that's why we have the chemistry."
~ TV Week 2006

"He's a really, really great husband and father. I think how much he loves his wife and daughter is really just -- the girls would just melt if they knew."
~ Ellen Pompeo - Oprah - November 2006

"Ellen Pompeo, I share this with you, thank you!"
~ Patrick Dempsey on his People's Choice Award win - January 9, 2007

"Come in the water's fine," Patrick Dempsey called out to Ellen Pompeo. He was lying through those perfect teeth. But an unheated pool isn't a problem for a guy who grew up going to a frigid beach in Maine.
~ TV Guide - July 2006

"Are you Crazy?!" Ellen said with a laugh after dipping her toe in the chilly pool. Later in the day, though, the two troupers took the plunge and generated plenty of heat for the camera. Patrick even dunked himself for a wet T-shirt shot.
~ TV Guide - July 2006

Interviewer: Luckily, you and Ellen Pompeo must have had great chemistry during your audition.
Patrick: They didn’t offer me the part. I got it because Rob Lowe turned it down. But first I had to test with her, so she had all the cards. She was very attentive during my audition, and I felt . . . welcomed. Also, she had a Boston accent, and I’m from Maine. I found that endearing.
~ Life Magazine - January 2007

Playboy: Why do so many people find doctors and nurses hot?
EP: Because nurses and doctors are smart. But let’s be real here. We don’t go to a hospital and think doctors are sexy; Patrick Dempsey playing a doctor is sexy. People ask me, “Have you ever had a crush on your doctor?” Well, no, but I’ve never had a doctor who looked like Patrick Dempsey.
~ Playboy

It also makes Dempsey's co-star Ellen Pompeo nervous. Still, she says, "I've never seen him happier than when he has just finished a race."
~ USA Weekend Magazine - April 2006

"Derek Shepherd is the sweet, sensitive type. Whether or not he makes bad decisions, there's a 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 knows the reality of the situation that fame and looks are fleeting. He and I chip in and get lobsters for the crew and we do these big lobster bakes. He appreciates what he has, that Hollywood is a means to an end. It'sa way to get back to Maine and 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 start's dating!"
~ Costar Ellen Pompeo - TVGuide - March 2007

The interview ends with a knock on the door from production. "Excuse me," Patrick says and jumps up. And not being able to resist, he adds with his best McDreamy grin, "I've got to go back to making love to Ellen Pompeo now!"
~ TV Week - March 2007

"I spend a good deal of my life answering questions about Patrick. People always want to know if he's a good kisser. I tell them he's very good, happily-married kisser", she laughs. "I am lucky, because Patrick and I are very good friends, kind of like brother and sister, and I'm very close with his wife and his daughter."

Ellen Pompeo Dishes on Her Wedding Plans

Ellen Pompeo's upcoming wedding won't be a lavish production – but her co-stars might need to make some travel plans if they want to attend, she says.

"There will be no 'big' anything," the Grey's Anatomy star, 37, told PEOPLE Saturday at the Chrysalis Butterfly Ball, a benefit for the homeless in Brentwood, Calif. "It's going to be very small."

Beyond that, she and record producer Chris Ivery, who got engaged in November, are keeping mum on the details, but Pompeo hinted that the ceremony won't take place in Los Angeles: "We were thinking about going away and getting married."

The actress was reunited Saturday night with some of her co-stars for the first time since production on Grey's wrapped several weeks ago. Also at the gala, hosted by Eric "Dr. McSteamy" Dane's wife Rebecca Gayheart: Patrick Dempsey, Kate Walsh, T.R. Knight, Justin Chambers, Sara Ramirez and James Pickens, Jr.

Pompeo said that when Ivery proposed on her 37th birthday, she was only slightly caught off guard. "Chris and I have been together for four and a half years, so I was completely surprised, but not that surprised. We've been together a while."

Ivery – like her, a Boston-area native – has changed her life because "I just have somebody to share everything with," she said, "all of these moments. The bad ones and the good ones. We have a very strong bond, and we just understand each other. He's just a real companion."

She added that she knew Ivery was "the one" early on: "I guess you fall in love and you think he's the guy right away. Right when you fall in love, you think he's the guy. You don't sort of fall into a relationship thinking it's only going to be temporary."

The couple met in a Los Angeles grocery store in 2003 and began dating about six months later after "one night she just looked different to me," Ivery, 38, told PEOPLE late last year. They quickly discovered that they had grown up about 10 miles away from each other in Massachusetts and that Ivery had met Pompeo's father there.

"We have a lot in common," Pompeo said Saturday. "We're from the same hometown, almost."

Shame that she doesn't say when, so it could be Paris where they are heading for fun.. Though I'm not sure if the marriage would be legal.

Thnx Brie

**tonka17** · 06-04-2007, 05:16 AM

Thanks Tanique33

I was definatly thinking paris if she was going to do it this break. And seeing as it wont be big she probably wont have to plan much!!

I hope some of the cast make it out...that'd be adorable!!

I so love our new title! Its good!

**shinystar** · 06-04-2007, 05:21 AM

If she's making it small, then i doubt we'd know if cast members are attending, unless they may mention it afterwards. I doubt that we'll see pics though.

I could be a little hopeful and maybe she'll release a picture, lol!!

**shinystar** · 06-04-2007, 05:49 AM

If she's trying to keep it private, and not let anyone know for at least 24 hours afterwards then I don't think we'll get pictures..
I know I'd like to keep that private

I so have a feeling she's gonna get married in this break. I dont know why i do but i just think she will and hey she's going to paris so why not get married there.

Wouldn't it be legal but even if she was in another country? Cant you get it made legal?
