TV GUIDE: What brings you here today?
Jeffrey Dean Morgan: The event and the cause.
TV GUIDE: Do you have a serious job here that you're doing?
JDM: Here? Yeah, I am decorating cupcakes. That's my serious job.
TV GUIDE: Have you been practicing?
JDM: I did. I got some frosting yesterday and decorated my dog's head and she looks great, so yeah, I did a little bit of practicing.
TV GUIDE: So what have you been doing for work?
JDM: I've just finished three movies so I've been off for about a week.
TV GUIDE: What are the movies?
JDM: I did PS. I Love You with Hilary Swank and Gerard Butler and The Accidental Husband was me and Uma Thurman, and I just finished a movie called Days of Wrath with Laurence Fishburne — a big ensemble cast on that one.
TV GUIDE: And on Grey's you keep coming back from the dead.
JDM: I can see myself doing Grey's from the other side. They can bring back me and Kyle Chandler once a year to do a little thing.
TV GUIDE: Was that a fun episode to do?
JDM: I had so much fun. I mean, I love those guys, I love all of them and meeting Kyle and working with him was especially fun because we have the same kind of sick sense of humor so we had a really good time shooting that.
TV GUIDE: What was your reaction to Isaiah getting fired?
JDM: Oddly enough, I ran into him the day it happened at a restaurant and you know what, he's fine. He's not angry, he's not mad and he's going to be OK.
TV GUIDE: So when he said he was mad as hell and wasn't going to take it anymore, that was really just a TV quote?
JDM: Yes. It was. Because I think he's already got some other opportunities and he's going to be fine.
TV GUIDE: Did he say anything to you about leaving the show?
JDM: We talked about it. I think it's a little bit of a disappointment even though he didn't say that, but he's fielding offers already from every network so I have no doubt that everything will be fine and Grey's Anatomy will move on just fine without him and whatever he ends up doing will be great.
