The Effortlessly Classy Patrick Dempsey Does DETAILS Magazine!

A Sneak Peak Read:

On being more of a loner as he grows older: “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 growing tired of his character 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.”

On competition with Eric Dane (Dr. 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 being unique in Hollywood: “Grey’s has given me so much confidence. I went through five years where I didn’t get anything from auditions. You start to think, 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.”
