Chandra Wilson wrangles interns as Dr. Miranda Bailey on Grey’s Anatomy, but at home she wrangles children. Three, to be exact! She and the brood shot a commercial for Folgers Gourmet Selections on May 31 and in between takes, she talked to Usmagazine.com about Grey’s, her character, and balancing her career with family life. Read on for excerpts:

On Grey’s getting a fresh start, both in front of the camera and behind the scenes:
“This year was a really emotional year, both on and off the set. Last year we came back and everybody’s character life was just in shambles. We had a season to get rid of that stuff and now it’s time to go forward.”

On if Isaiah Washington doesn’t return:
“We’ve got our core group of folks and that’s our family. Anytime a part of your family is not there, you’re going to feel that and feel that intensely. These characters have been established and they’re a part of the show and I just can’t imagine it without any of the present people.”

On her character, Bailey, not being named chief resident:
“I thought it was very fitting. She already has the clinic she is running and the chief told her she’s not delegating enough and she has too much on her plate. It’s not a belittling thing and not something that should be looked at as being picked over. It bruised her pride a little bit, but not to the extent of questioning herself and all that crap that happened at the beginning of season 3. Maybe she’ll take to heart what the chief is telling her, and pay as much attention to what’s happening at home as she’s does to her career. It’s a good wake up call for her, I think.”
