The Boston Globe managed to catch Grey’s Anatomy star Ellen Pompeo for an interview.
Q: Do you think your character is maturing?
A: Not at all. I think she keeps making ridiculous mistakes. I guess this is sort of the dichotomy between high book intelligence and low emotional intelligence. She has this surgery thing down pat. But why would she sleep with George [another hospital intern]? I guess a lot of women sleep with guys they should never have slept with. It’s a little hard for me to relate to that. I have never slept with a guy who was like my brother.
Q: Is her crush on Derek unrealistic too? He’s a married man.
A: That isn’t so hard of a stretch. He is so cute. I can see how any young intern would be totally infatuated with a doctor like that. With regard to her not getting over him, it’s hard when a relationship doesn’t end mutually. There’s always one who hangs on way too long.
Q: What can we expect from Meredith in the third season?
A: I’m really curious, but I don’t ask a lot. They won’t tell me, number one. But I also don’t really want to know. I’ll think about it too much and that will work against me. I’d rather take it as it comes and react to it spontaneously.
