- Taye Diggs: (About his marriage to Idina) Fun, exciting, humorous, hopeful...and sexy-she'll love that.

- Taye Diggs: (About his wife, Idina Menzel) It annoys her that I like putting outfits together. She was a tomboy growing up, and prefers jeans and a T-shirt.

- Taye Diggs: (About if the movie Rent was any different than the Broadway Rent) You know as actors, we were allowed to be a little bit more in the moment, instead of pretending we're walking through a park, we were actually walking through a park, you're actually riding the subway, so it really added a level to the artistic element of it.
