You just don't see the same type of all-purpose entertainers nowadays.

I would love for film to go back to those days where you had to be able to do everything just to get by.

The large ensemble cast and the fact that it was being shot in New York, combined with a lot of strong positive images as far as African Americans are concerned, really turned me on to The Best Man.

It's a trip but it hasn't crossed over to the point where women are throwing their panties at me.

I'm always up for going back to the stage.

I keep all my clothes on in House on Haunted Hill, Mary Jane's Last Dance, and The Way of the Gun.

Not one role that I've played has been written specifically for me.

But then all that died down and as far as casting was concerned it didn't really matter that I had been on Broadway.

Like I went out to a predominantly black club last night and nobody said anything and I was wishing somebody would so that someone would dance with me.

I jump at any chance to go back into theater.

All my friends from my past would know me as Scott Diggs. Taye Diggs comes from Scott-taye. When I went to college I liked it because it was so different and I have an infatuation with nicknames.

Growing up, I was a nerd. With actual taped eyeglasses.

I complained to my mother about wanting to look less like myself and more like my friends. My mother then gave me a lesson in embracing my differences and loving them despite what others said.

I'm always singing and dancing and getting up in people's faces.

I'm living my life and I found a woman who I love.

I've always been attracted to women who are assertive and have confidence - qualities older women possess. They've been on the Earth a little longer. They're more seasoned. They don't play games. They know what they want, and they're not afraid to tell you.

Live theater is my favorite of all the mediums that I have worked in, so I have every intention on coming back to Broadway.

One of my favorite films is 'Pretty Woman.'

The whole issue is that everyone would love to do theater, but it doesn't pay enough, so to do music theater on TV, that's the ultimate dream.

I don't hate them any more like I used to. I just don't like them very much.

No matter how long I go without riding winners, I know in the back of my head that I can ride.

I will obey every law, or submit to the penalty.
