Taye Diggs

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

“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 living my life and I found a woman who I love.”

“One of my favorite films is 'Pretty Woman.'”

“My wife never throws anything at me that I can't handle.”

“I'm awful with directions, and I'm not very handy around the house.”

“I jump at any chance to go back into theater.”

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

“The only tough thing is admitting to my wife how much a certain article of clothing costs.”

“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.”

“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'm always up for going back to the stage.”

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

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

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

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

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

“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.”

“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.”
