The Grey’s Anatomy star Katherine recently appeared on The Drew Barrymore Show as a guest where she discussed about her private life. The interview started with Barrymore mentioning how Anne Hathaway, who has also been on the show earlier is known as Annie by her loved ones. Similarly, Katherine goes by the name Katie to anyone who knows her personally and off the screen.

The hostess said, “I called her Annie on the show and I felt really weird. I thought people are going to think maybe I'm not doing my homework, that I'm calling her the wrong name. But if you know her in real life, she's Annie, and if you know you in real life, you're 'Katie,' right?".

And to this Katherine replied, "Yes, no one calls me Katherine”, She further added, “It sounds much more sophisticated, right? Like an adult named Katherine,” and further mentioned how the two names help her differentiate between her personal and professional life. Katherine says, “It helps me separate my work from me. I just had to embrace it”.

Post this, Barrymore also asked if Katherine ever feels like there are “two women running around inside of her” and Katherine responded in affirmative. She said, “I do. I do actually feel that way. I feel like I can present Katherine when I need to, but most of the time, I'm just Katie”.
