After 18 seasons of Greys Anatomy , Ellen Pompeo is ready to pull the plug on the show.

The actor and producer, who plays Dr. Meredith Grey on the medical drama, explained why shes ready to end it all in an interview with Insider published over the weekend.

Ive been trying to focus on convincing everybody that it should end, Pompeo told the publication.

I feel like Im the super naive one who keeps saying, But whats the story going to be, what story are we going to tell? she continued. And everyones like, Who cares, Ellen? It makes a gazillion dollars.

Pompeo has called for the show to wrap things up on multiple occasions, telling Entertainment Tonight on the Emmys red carpet in September that shes been trying to get away for years.

I have been trying. Its not because I havent been trying, she said as the red carpet hosts laughed. I have strong relationships at the network, and they have been very, very good to me and incentivized me to stay.

Miraculously, we keep coming up with ways to have a reason to stay, Pompeo added. And if theres a reason, that warrants it.
