I hosted Soul train but I listen to everything.

Let a woman have her place, because as you provide foundation for her, she provides a foundation for you. And through that vulnerability comes strength.

It's okay to put your heart on your sleeve. Okay to have that softer side - the softer side in the sense of being able to listen, to deal with fear, to not always be so dominant.

We never get enough of falling in love and believing in love.

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

I admire Brad Pitt, honestly, just because of how he started and the obstacles he had to overcome to have the career that he's had.

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

After eight years on 'Young and the Restless' and eight years on 'Criminal Minds,' I'm ready for that next phase of my career.

I look at leading men because that's ultimately what I'm aspiring to do. But I also look at character actors and people that I'm just in awe by, just because I can relate to it.

It's no accident that I'm not married and don't have kids yet.

I think people deny themselves by putting themselves into categories.

Until we're educating every kid in a fantastic way, until every inner city is cleaned up, there is no shortage of things to do.

An artist is only an ordinary man with a greater potentiality.

If you don't believe in yourself how will somebody else believe in you?

I want to write, act, and direct!

I have always admired the way women put outfits together.

Writing is the same as music. It’s in how you phrase it, how you hold back the note, bend it, shape it, then release it. And what you don’t play is as important as what you do say.

In this springtime of hope, some lights seem eternal; America's is.

I'll write whatever I damn please, whenever I damn please and as I damn please and it'll be good if the authentic spirit of change is on it.

In this art form, in any art form, generalities are useless.
