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

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.

The Wood was about young people and the other one is more of a grown up movie.

On the set I never know what day of the week it is.

All my friends from my past would know me as Scott Diggs.

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 failed chemistry. I almost failed algebra.

I love apple juice.

I think I am less of a prankster and more of a jokester.

I'm a choreographer and I love watching 'The Bachelorette.'

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.

The wise Jewish Israeli must work with the moderate Muslim and the Christian leader of the free world against the crazy Muslims.

You become a champion by fighting one more round. When things are tough, you fight one more round.

They did ask me to do 'Dancing With The Stars;' I said I can do one show, but on that show you have to come up with a new number every week, and I told them that I think I'm a little past that stage.

Way back in the 1970s, I was eating a steak, and I looked down, and for the first time it suddenly looked like flesh to me - like a dead creature. In a flash, I realized that every time I ate any kind of meat, something had been killed for me, and I stopped eating all animals, not just cows and pigs but chickens and fish.

The smile on my face doesn't mean my life is perfect, it just means I appreciate what I have and what God has blessed me with.

As artists, we are so not in control most of the time of the content or the narrative of our characters, and sometimes writing takes a turn and it's not something we necessarily have control over. It's just a lot of random dumb luck, so when things click, you've just got to enjoy it.

Those who made and endorsed our Constitution knew man's nature, and it is to their ideas, rather than to the temptations of utopia, that we must ask that our judges adhere.

The people that are proposing banning assault weapons, well, first of all they're already banned. Assault weapon is a fully automatic, those are already banned.

The woman who runs the Pennsylvania Innocence Project told me that there's a man she's been trying to get out of prison for 26 years. Every night before she goes to bed, she thinks, 'What is he doing?' She says you don't sleep. And yet, she has the greatest sense of humor and this light that comes out of her.

Most of us working on poverty alleviation simply want to know, 'How much poverty can I reduce for every dollar I donate?'

I am cool.

Easter is not a passport to another world it is a quality of perception for this one.

My fortune somewhat resembled that of a person who should entertain an idea of committing suicide, and, altogether beyond his hopes, meet with the good hap to be murdered.

I really like doing portraits, but I like taking pictures of things that are natural, like scenery, too.

I love to tell stories and this is my way of getting them down on paper.

Football was a wonderful experience for me. It was a means of, oh, I don't know, sustaining for much of my youth. In times of trouble, I've always had football. I always knew I was a football player. And that was a comfort on many occasions.

The last episode of Dallas was in '1991.' Unfortunately, it was a terrible episode to end the show on: it was a sort of 'It's a Wonderful Life' with Larry as the Jimmy Stewart character. In that episode, I was an ineffectual-schlep kind of brother, who got divorced three or four times and was a Las Vegas reject.

Probably the '86 nationals. That was my first real national title and first real statement I ever made in figure skating, and my life changed after I returned.

I may be one of the last New Yorkers who actually drives in the city daily.

A lot of people are afraid to tell the truth, to say no. That's where toughness comes into play. Toughness is not being a bully. It's having backbone.

What breadth, what beauty and power of human nature and development there must be in a woman to get over all the palisades, all the fences, within which she is held captive!

College is expensive; I always knew that, and I wanted to make money, partially to spend a little of it here and there, but primarily for a college savings fund.
