Now I'm just known as McDreamy, I've lost all identity as Patrick Dempsey, I'm now McDreamy.

In Los Angeles, as I gained and lost celebrity, then gained it again, I often found myself wondering why I, out of thousands like me, had become famous.

Drama is easier to do because you just have to have the emotion and not get caught acting, but comedy is much harder.

When I left Maine, I always wanted to be a working actor. I never cared too much about being the star. I just wanted to do the work and get on with it.

I hate shaving. It's much easier to just do a little stubble, but my wife and daughter like it when I'm clean-shaven. If you see me with a clean face, then you know I'm in the kissing mode!

I like physical comedy. And I like the old comedies.
