At a Buzzfeed Brews event held yesterday, GREY'S ANATOMY star revealed that she will be ready to hang up her acting hat following her tenure on the long-running ABC medical drama.

"I definitely don't have a strong desire to act after 'Grey's [Anatomy],'" shared the actress at Wednesday's event. "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."

The 44-year-old, who explained that she has become more interested in the production end of the business explained, "I feel like the acting has been a wonderful opportunity and I've done so much of it over the last 11 years. Maybe part of my personality is that I feel like I have something to prove sometimes and with acting I don't feel like I have anything to prove anymore. Even though I don't have no awards or Emmys or anything like that."
