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. – Taye Diggs
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. – Taye Diggs

I keep all my clothes on in House on Haunted Hill, Mary Jane’s Last Dance, and The Way of the Gun. – Taye Diggs
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. – Taye Diggs
Live theater is my favorite of all the mediums that I have worked in, so I have every intention on coming back to Broadway. – 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. – 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. – 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. – Taye Diggs
It’s a trip but it hasn’t crossed over to the point where women are throwing their panties at me. – Taye Diggs
