'I wouldn't describe you as sweet,' Pompeo said while reuniting with her former costar -- before explaining why she also 'fought' the show's famous 'pick me' moment (via toofab)
"I was so naive. I got on my soapbox and I had some things to say, and I felt really passionate about this stuff," Heigl told Pompeo."I felt really strongly. I felt so strongly that I also got a megaphone out on my soapbox. There was no part of me that imagined a bad reaction. I felt really justified in how I felt about it and where I was coming from."
The"Firefly Lane" star said it wasn't until her"mid-to-late-30s" that she was able to"really get back to tuning out all the noise" and ask herself:"But who are you? Are you this bad person? Are you ungrateful? Are you unprofessional? Are you difficult?""Because I was confused! I thought maybe I was," she told Pompeo."I literally believed that version, and felt such shame for such a long time, and then had to go, 'Wait.
Meanwhile, the 53-year-old actress pointed out to Heigl that she was a child actor and"grew up on sets, being told what to do, where to go, what to say, what to feel, what to think, what to eat, when to eat, when to sleep." Back in Season 2, Pompeo's Meredith Grey begs Dr. Derek Sheppard to choose to be with her. At one point, she says,"Pick me, choose me, love me." The line went on to become famous, however, Pompeo said she wasn't a fan, and"fought" against it at the time.
