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.

A lot of the TV shows, they do long hours, and they do a lot of days, and you don't get a lot of time. But the good thing is, if you get one that's made in L.A., or made in a place you want to be, you get to go home every night.

You don't change Donald Trump. You don't 'manage' him.

Why do people love Richard Pryor so much? 'Cause he had problems.

Accents can be a great tool to tell a story - but if you do it wrong, it pulls you right out of the movie.

It was a very big principle in my upbringing that you should respect everybody's work. The street sweeper. Everybody. You should never look down on anybody for their work.

Remember that when you're young and your career feels like the most important thing, the most important thing is love and the relationships you have with people - boyfriend, friends and family. It's good to remember that.

I find my readers to be very smart, and there is no reason to write dumb.

If anyone at my funeral has a long face, I'll never speak to him again.

Find the good. It's all around you. Find it, showcase it and you'll start believing it.

I pretty much grew up in public.

All you need is love

The Patriot Act unleashed the FBI to search your email, travel and credit records without even a suspicion of wrongdoing.

I took a Fear of Flying class, and I always missed the class, because I was always flying.

Are you facing a superheated furnace? What God wants is for you to look full in the face of Jesus. Get your focus off whatever it is that appears to be unanswered and focus on the Son.

I was a big fighter when I was younger. In bars I was ready to explode and fight.

I've never done it, but I think if you do a Google search for 'People who will help me travel across the country to meet my online love,' I'm probably the only person that comes up.

There was a time when men thought it was sexy to have a housewife waiting for him to come home from work in her slippers, but in modern society, I think an independent woman is even more sexy.

I look just like the girls next door... if you happen to live next door to an amusement park.

You gotta bear in mind, the youth - and this is just in Britain alone - have nowhere to go in the evenings. They've closed all the social centers. There's not even a patch of grass to kick a ball on.

Make New Years goals. Dig within and discover what you would like to have happen in your life this year. This helps you do your part. It is an affirmation that youre interested in fully living life in the year to come.

A business has to be involving it has to be fun and it has to exercise your creative instincts.

My favorite type of pet has always been a dog. They're loyal, kind, and offer endless affection. My friend Eric says, 'The more people I meet, the more I like my dog.' Funny thought.
