TAYE DIGGS

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

I love apple juice.

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

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

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

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

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

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 jump at any chance to go back into theater.

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.

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

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

I'm going through a stage where the dumbest things make me bawl. I feel like I need to see a shrink.

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

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. 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.
