Taye Diggs
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.
One of my favorite films is 'Pretty Woman.'
I jump at any chance to go back into theater.
The only tough thing is admitting to my wife how much a certain article of clothing costs.
I would love for film to go back to those days where you had to be able to do everything just to get by.
You just don't see the same type of all-purpose entertainers nowadays.
I'm always up for going back to the stage.
On the set I never know what day of the week it is.
Not one role that I've played has been written specifically for me.
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.
It's a trip but it hasn't crossed over to the point where women are throwing their panties at me.
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.
The Wood was about young people and the other one is more of a grown up movie.
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'm living my life and I found a woman who I love.
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 think I am less of a prankster and more of a jokester.
I'm always singing and dancing and getting up in people's faces.
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.
I failed chemistry. I almost failed algebra.
Growing up, I was a nerd. With actual taped eyeglasses.
I love apple juice.
I'm a choreographer and I love watching 'The Bachelorette.'
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 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 going through a stage where the dumbest things make me bawl. I feel like I need to see a shrink.
I'm awful with directions, and I'm not very handy around the house.
My wife never throws anything at me that I can't handle.
Let’s just say it’s not a stereotype that Black women are less submissive and harder to deal with. Being around them Black women made me really miss my wife.Collection: Wife
Somebody will be upset and say I got rich and deserted my female people; No offense, but the only black woman I ever loved is my mama.Collection: People
I was never a hundred percent comfortable with the women I was hanging with because I was afraid they'd find out that I'm still the same person I was in junior high. With Idina, I didn't have to be ashamed of the nerd inside that came out.Collection: Nerd
I've always been attracted to independent women, but the idea that someone could be independent and still kind of put herself second at times was pretty interesting.Collection: Independent
I think back to back romantic comedies are good for black film.Collection: Thinking
Unfortunately, the business is such that, as far as studios are concerned, they judge one quote-unquote black movie on how other ‘black’ movies have done, even if they have nothing to do with each other It’s too bad we can’t do well on our own merit when it comes to the studios. They don’t like to take risks and, unfortunately, we’re still considered a huge risk, even though I don’t think we are.Collection: Thinking
