If there's one thing you should know about me, it's that I love "Grey's Anatomy" with all my heart. Seriously, I might consider inviting show creator Shonda Rhimes to my wedding. In a recent interview, Rhimes revealed that she based the famous character Dr. Cristina Yang (played by Sandra Oh) on herself! Cristina is known for her strong will and dry humor (as well as some serious cardiothoracic surgery skills). Here are 20 of Dr. Yang's best quotes, serious and not-so-serious, to get you through the start of the push to finals week.
1. "Oh, screw beautiful, I'm brilliant. If you want to appease me, compliment my brain!"
2. "If you want crappy things to stop happening to you, then stop accepting crap and demand something more."
3. "If there's no food, I'm going home."
4. "Pretty is not enough. I wanna be great."
5. "Have some fire. Be unstoppable. Be a force of nature."
6. "Don't let what he wants eclipse what you need. He is very dreamy, but he is not the sun. You are."
7. "I didn't like teenage girls when I was a teenage girl."
8. "Do you know who you are? Do you know what's happened to you? Do you want to live this way?"
9. "When we're done here, can you braid my hair?"
10. "Mer, you had me at lethal injection."
11. "Can your mind be blown on your own time?"
12. "You almost make me want to learn your name."
13. "I am laughing. Just not externally."
14. "Well, I've grown up as much as I plan to, and I don't come around."
15. "I choose potato chips."
16. "I don't have a sourpuss, this is just my face."
17. "Being aware of your crap and actually overcoming your crap are two very different things."
18. "There comes a point when it all becomes too much. When we get too tired to fight anymore. So we give up. That's when the real work begins. To find hope where there seems to be absolutely none at all."
19. "Hey, if you have time to stare, you have time to get me coffee, so move, move, move!"
20. "Shut up. Dance it out."
