I'm a drama guy.

Acting is therapeutic.

I got country music in me.

I don't want to be an old dad.

I hosted Soul train but I listen to everything.

When I do tie the knot, it will be one time, for good.

Well, you can't compete with a six foot five man in a wig.

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

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

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

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

But there are still good shows like 24, Boomtown and the Wire, the Shield.

Baseball player. Yeah, that was my dream before acting, or alongside acting.

But because I could throw so hard when I got to college they made me a pitcher.

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

Television is in a different time because of reality television, so it's not as exciting.

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

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

I loved running. I can catch everything in the outfield. I could throw people out from the fence.

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

Denzel has been that leading man, but it took him a while to get to Training Day and Hurricane Carter.

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 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.

Celebrities have more influence to be able to reach out to people, but people are becoming famous on Facebook and social media every day.

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.

I don't see myself as a 'black actor,' I'm just Shemar Moore the actor. I'm very proud to be black, but I'm just as much black as I am white.

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 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.

Kim Kardashian is a major player coming off of a reality show, and nobody can turn a blind eye to what she's accomplished, no matter how you see her.

Now that I've established myself in a drama, I'm plugging away, trying to get the attention of people who do the independent movies and the features.

That's because I didn't have to work with Madea. I only had to work with Madea once, and that was at the barbecue and I didn't have to get close to her.

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.

Whether it's because of how somebody looks or because of what they're wearing, you kind of assess a person in the first five minutes before they even speak.

I'm very proud to be black, but I'm just as much black as I am white. But I want tell stories that everybody can relate to, so I don't care who's opposite me.

Orlando's a part of me. The next guy's a part of me. And the next guy's a part of me. That's all I'm trying to do, is tell cool stories that people can relate to.

I know that on my own sites, a picture of me with my mom or me with my dog does well, but when I put up a picture of myself shirtless, it does get a little crazy.

No week is ever the same in my world! An average week in my life changes based on my shooting schedule, if I'm promoting a project, or anything else I have going on.

Acting is therapeutic. 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.

I always speak so highly of my mom because she's my partner in crime, and none of this would be possible without her love and support. Always have to make time for Mom.

What I love about 'Criminal Minds' is that Morgan is an ex-marine, ex-SWAT. To do those things you have to be a pretty badass dude. It's a great incentive to stay in shape.

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 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.

I'm raised by a single mom and didn't have pops around for the most part of my life. And she, by any means necessary, gave me the best opportunities that she knew how to give me.

And a lesson in this movie is dig beneath the surface. And so with my words, with my character, I purposely created a character that was away from how you've known me thus far in my career.

But I got drafted out of high school, and my mother wasn't having it. She was like, you're not about to think that you can just play ball, because if you get hurt, you're going to be out of luck.

Hopefully when you see the movie, Maybe you don't have the Orlando in your life, but you know that guy. He goes to church. He's down the street. He's one of the boys at the schoolyard. They exist.

It's no accident that I'm not married and don't have kids yet. Because, despite what I've achieved in my career, I'm always wondering when somebody's gonna tap me on the shoulder and say, 'OK, the gig is up.'
