Job security. You look at what’s going on in the world and how difficult it is to get a job. Actors who have been on other [hit] shows aren’t working. I’m like, you know what? Why not [stay]?

I was struggling. So why not? And the money’s good. I would be stupid to say no.

i think patrick dempsey and ellen pompeo are quite possibly the most honest people in the tv business when answering interviews. If they are not, they certainly fool me well. I love how they just answer that they stayed because they got a good financial offer and how open they are about whether or not they agree with their storylines. It's always very refreshing to listen to their interviews.
