I still have shy qualities but nobody would believe that, just because we’re in the forefront and I can talk a lot of mess and I can run my mouth. – Shemar Moore

Kim Kardashian is a major player coming off of a reality show, and nobody can turn a blind eye to what she’s accomplished, no matter how you see her. – Shemar Moore
Television is in a different time because of reality television, so it’s not as exciting. – Shemar Moore
You know, I don’t play the race card a lot. I’m half-black, half-white, and I’m proud of – my skin is brown. The world sees me as a black man, but my mother didn’t raise me as a black man. She didn’t raise me as a white guy. – Shemar Moore
Orlando’s a part of me. The next guy’s a part of me. And the next guy’s a part of me. That’s all I’m trying to do, is tell cool stories that people can relate to. – Shemar Moore
I know that on my own sites, a picture of me with my mom or me with my dog does well, but when I put up a picture of myself shirtless, it does get a little crazy. – Shemar Moore
Celebrities have more influence to be able to reach out to people, but people are becoming famous on Facebook and social media every day. – Shemar Moore
I could describe my career in two words: who knew. I was on the path to becoming a professional baseball player, but I got injured in college. When I decided to move out to L.A. to try acting, nobody was betting on me, not even my family. – Shemar Moore
I say I’m not shy, but… Acting is a very vulnerable experience, and you’ve got to be really confident to put yourself out there to be judged. – Shemar Moore
It’s no accident that I’m not married and don’t have kids yet. Because, despite what I’ve achieved in my career, I’m always wondering when somebody’s gonna tap me on the shoulder and say, ‘OK, the gig is up.’ – Shemar Moore
I do like working out. I feel my best when I work out, but you know, I’m human. I like to ride my bicycle and lift weights and hike. When I am diligently working out, ideally, I like to work out four days a week. If I can do that, I feel good about myself. – Shemar Moore

I loved running. I can catch everything in the outfield. I could throw people out from the fence. – Shemar Moore
There are days when I feel confident, and I feel like, ‘OK, this outfit looks nice, I look good, I’m in shape.’ But I’m never going to walk out the house trying to be sexy, because that to me is cheesy and not attractive. – Shemar Moore
I want a partner in crime and a Bonnie to my Clyde. I’ve just been so focused on my career. Women don’t like being number two, so I’ve been glad to keep my distance so I could focus on me, get my life together and take care of my mom without disappointing the woman I love. – Shemar Moore

I don’t see myself as a ‘black actor,’ I’m just Shemar Moore the actor. I’m very proud to be black, but I’m just as much black as I am white. – Shemar Moore
