- On what it's been like since her Grey's departure: "More than anything else, the last few weeks after my final episodes have been a really beautiful rebirth and a really exciting time. I'm running around, meeting everybody and talking to producers and talking to heads of casting at all the networks and the studios, and I'm finding that the landscape is so different."
- On her feelings of being let go: "It was painful when it happened, but in retrospect, I think it would have been hard for me to walk away from that job. I don't regret or begrudge anybody this season of my life. It feels right and it feels like a good time to move on to something else with all the great love in my heart that I have for everybody and respect and gratitude for what that experience was. I got to tell stories I believed in. I got to work with Shonda Rhimes and Betsy Beers and learn from the best. It's hard for me to come up with anything I could be angry about."
- On what she's doing now: "I'm reviewing options. I got bit by the directing bug because I produced my first film — Indivisible — during our last hiatus, and it's coming out in theatres on Oct. 26. I'm not only pursuing my career as an actor, but I'm now also walking into this world as a director and as a producer, and the world is so wide open. I haven't officially signed on anywhere, but I've got three or four different potential projects that I'm interested in potentially producing and acting in and maybe directing episodes of.
