Do we detect a note of bitterness in Patrick Dempsey's answers about how the writer's strike is affecting his work?

Catching up with him at a gas station while pumping gas into his $125,000 Porsche, Patrick suggested that the parties involved "get their egos out of the way". Is that so the star of Golden Globe nominated Grey's Anatomy and Enchanted would be able to attend the ceremony with a clean conscience?

If the writers don't resolve their dispute soon, it could mean that actors would go on strike next - which is a disheartening thought for everyone!
