Patrick Dempsey Biography

“One day my 3-year-old daughter said, 'You're very handsome, Poppy.' That was the best compliment ever.”

"I'd come in with this bitter attitude. It's not an escape, because I feel this disappointment, this jealousy." – Dempsey speaking on why he couldn't stand to go to the cinema during a career quiet spell.

"I just raced in Long Beach, and I'm severely depressed that Frankie Muniz beat me. He's, like, 19. I'm seeking therapy to overcome the loss."

"I know it can be dangerous, but I love racing. I worry my wife, but she knows it's important to me."

"I really love it now. But I also have a life outside it, with Jill and Tallulah. I am really thankful that it is all going well."

"My big thing is to make sure the lipsticks taste good when you kiss. And, well, so far they taste pretty darn good."

"My wife and I try not to get into each other's work too much."
