I think, before ‘Watchmen,’ I was the guy from ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ who’s a pretty good guy, a pretty charming sweet guy, and so as an actor, I really wanted to do something as far from that as I could. – Jeffrey Dean Morgan
There’s that rule, don’t work with kids and animals. There’s a reason for that! – Jeffrey Dean Morgan
I was almost ready to call it quits – sick of doing a job and then being back on the unemployment line and trying to make ends meet. But I loved acting and didn’t know what else to do. – Jeffrey Dean Morgan

Shonda Rhimes, especially, saw something in me that no one had and then wrote to my strengths for ‘Grey’s Anatomy.’ That’s the job I think really opened up a whole new world for me. – Jeffrey Dean Morgan
