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'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.

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.

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.

On the set I never know what day of the week it is.

I failed chemistry. I almost failed algebra.

I would love for film to go back to those days where you had to be able to do everything just to get by.
