At a recent panel, Washington grilled Pompeo for details about the new season of Grey's. "We can't move to DC because Meredith would find out her mother is alive and she would be pissed!" Pompeo joked, referencing actress Kate Burton, who appears on both Grey's Anatomy and Scandal. Expect flashbacks in season 11. "We are doing a lot of flashback stuff. Very challenging...A lot of people say how can you stay on a show 11 years. After 11 seasons you have to stay so alive and present. You can't disappoint the audience. You have to bring it," she said.

Pompeo also said once Grey's endsyes, it will end eventuallyshe doesn't see herself acting anymore.

"I definitely don't have a strong desire to act afterGrey's," she said. "I definitely feel myself transitioning. I don't find acting terribly empowering. For the place I am in my life, I think my age, once I hit 40, I feel differently. I don't necessarily want to work for other people."
