Grey's Anatomy's Patrick Dempsey In Details Magazine

McDreamy hits newsstands this Tuesday.On Grey's Anatomy:

"Things are going well, but I'm not satisfied. I don't think the character is going to change that much.

"Shonda Rhimes has created a great show. And I'm contributing to that and have benefited from that profoundly.

And she's benefited by being smart enough to cast me when no one else did. [it's] been a great opportunity, but it's not the end-all, be-all of where I want to go."

"[Grey's] has given me so much confidence. I went through five years where I didn't get anything from auditions. You start to thing, well, I'm not attractive,

"I'm not a good actor. but I never gave up.
I just accepted this is who I am. I'm not George Clooney, I'm not Brad Pitt, but I'm uniquely who I am."

On Mcdreamy vs. Mcsteamy:


"There's no real competition. we're so different. It will be interesting to see where the dynamic of that friendship goes in the show.

"I think the women characters are developed very well. I sometimes feel that the men get a little shortchanged. [Rhimes] is writing an idealized version of what men should be."

On making a comeback in Hollywood:


"I was frustrated because I was like, [my career so far] is not how I want to be known. I didn't want [1987's can't buy me love] to be my legacy. [I returned thinking] 'now I need to go slay the dragon.'

"And I think [my wife] has really helped enable me to do that. she gave me the kingdom. Certainly that's why my career has turned around. I feel comfortable and stable at home."

On his wife, Jillian Fink:


"I'll tell you, the last year has been the best of my marriage. It seems like we're communicating better than we ever have."

On his need for space:

"I like to be alone a lot. I like my privacy. The older I get, the more I want to be around fewer and fewer people."

On his love of off-road racing:


"Racing is something I really need in my life right now. The excitement of it calms me down, oddly enough. You're in the car and you're alone.
