T.R. Knight Looking Foward to Break from Grey's Anatomy

After the show had a very controversial year, Grey's Anatomy star T.R. Knight says he's looking forward to some time off.

Knight found himself in the middle of a controversy last year when costar Isaiah Washington allegedly referred to him by a homophobic slur. At the GLAAD Media Awards in Hollywood on Saturday, Knight told Access Hollywood that everyone on set is now looking forward to some time away.

"We have about 20 days left [until the season ends], not that I'm counting," he said. "It's going to be nice to have two months away, you know. I think everyone's looking forward to it."

Knight, 34, attended the GLAAD Awards on Saturday, where Grey's won an award for outstanding individual episode for "Where the Boys Are."

How does Knight feel about the tumultuous season? When asked if the summer break would give him a chance to reflect, he said, "Yeah, to learn from it. Grow. That's the hope; that's my hope."

As for his relationship with costar Washington, Knight wouldn't reveal much. "I just focus on doing the work. That's my job; that's what I'm paid for, and I think that's enough."
