Don't call her a McShrink! Amy Brenneman says that Private Practice is much more than just a Grey's Anatomy spinoff. The Connecticut native and married mother of two talked a little with Us Weekly about the show recently.

Us: What attracted you to the show?
Amy Brenneman: They really set out to write about people 10 years older than the Grey's Anatomy crew, and all the funny and smart stuff that goes with having been around those 10 additional years.

Us: How is working with Kate Walsh?
Amy Brenneman: Wonderful! She's a lovely girl. She's classy, funny and very humble.

Us: You also star in The Jane Austen Book Club with Maria Bello and Emily Blunt. Was that fun to film?
Amy Brenneman: I loved hanging with the girls, and Emily Blunt made me laugh my ass off. She's a goofball. I haven't experienced this since high school, but we cracked each other up during scenes.

Us: How do you stay so fit?
Amy Brenneman: Between doing this job and having two kids, I don't! I laugh when I read, "Oh, she spends two hours in the gym every day." I'm like, No, she doesn't, she has two kids!
