Oh, she's my bodyguard. I mean, I'm a married man, and the last thing you need in that situation is to be considered a sexy individual. But I try to never let this whole McDreamy thing really influence us. I'm trying to just have a calm family life, to make my marriage work. It's not as if when my wife asks me to take out the trash, I say, 'Um, honey, don't you realize that I'm too sexy for that'? Well, actually, I do, but she gives me crap for it.

I look forward to a time when my career in a place where I can get out of Los Angeles and find a nice small town like I grew up in to raise my family.

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.

I love having a big family. I think it's easier, oddly, in some ways, having three children as opposed to one.

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

Sometimes in television, if there are storylines that are oft-told, people can be hypercritical of them.

I'm really happy to have a family and a life outside of the business.
