Acting is therapeutic.

Each morning needs to start with a good sweat. I'm either working out at home or on set, depending on my call time.

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.

People find it interesting to try to make me gay; I’m not gay. I went on vacation with two girlfriends of mine who, interestingly enough got cut out of the pictures. We found a nude beach, as far as I know, was a unisex beach…. We took off our clothes and jumped in the water. I’ve been trying to skinny dip since I was a teenager. I’m just grateful that the water was warm!

I'm not a machine. I get really motivated, then I fall off the wagon and want to eat Chinese food and sit on my couch and gain five or 10 pounds!

I wanna chase down Denzel Washington, Jamie Foxx, Will Smith. I would love to start my film career.

I don't see myself as a 'black actor,' I'm just Shemar Moore the actor.
