You know, I dont play the race card a lot. Im half-black, half-white, and Im proud of - my skin is brown. The world sees me as a black man, but my mother didnt raise me as a black man. She didnt raise me as a white guy.

I could run, but I was throwing 93 mph coming out of high school.

It was truly a lesson in don't take something at face value. You know, so many of us do in life. Whether it's because of how somebody looks or because of what they're wearing or what have you, you kind of assess a person in the first five minutes before they even speak.

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.

I like to make money, I like to have nice things. But I love to act, I love to tell stories.

For me to bring a character to life, you've got to be able to find your own truth.

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