THE 21 ST QUESTION The last word from Playboy's 20Q subject
 

Ellen Pompeo

Dr. Meredith Grey talks about her anatomy, dating older men, the pain of ending up on the cutting-room floor and why mean waitresses get the best tips

 
THE 21ST QUESTION:
On what other TV show would you most like to be aside from Grey's Anatomy?

POMPEO:
The Sopranos. I knew guys just like those characters. Maybe I'd play some crazy girlfriend of Tony's like the one Annabella Sciorra played. Even Dr. Melfi's pretty good. I could relate to Carmela or any of those girls. I so know those women; they were all around me as a child. But, oh my God, The Girls Next Door is my favorite show. It's the most entertaining show on television. After Grey's Anatomy ends, I probably wouldn't want to go right into another hour-long drama right away. It's grueling. Unless it was something amazing like an Aaron Sorkin series, you never know.
