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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

I failed chemistry. I almost failed algebra.

I jump at any chance to go back into theater.

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

I love apple juice.

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

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

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

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

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

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