Idris Elba
The role of my agent has just been to get me in the room. If I can get in the room - say the character is just a charming man who lives next door - then I'll walk in there and be as charming as I can and they will think to themselves, 'I don't see why we can't cast him.
Idris Elba
In some countries, no one knows who Idris Elba is.
Idris Elba
I was always a real athletic kid. Then when I got older, I just figured it was part of life to keep training.
Idris Elba
I watch my daughter wanting to be like other kids and getting upset that she's not. But I always try and instill in her the idea that she's perfect as she is.
Idris Elba
Being able to work with Ridley Scott on this film is like being able to play on the Olympic team for actors.

Idris Elba
I tend to stay away from the comics.
Idris Elba
Sean Connery wasn't the Scottish James Bond, and Daniel Craig wasn't the blue-eyed James Bond. So if I played him, I don't want to be called the black James Bond.
Idris Elba
I'm a little sheepish about it. Whenever I meet fans and they're like, 'Oh, you're so sexy,' I just don't get that. There's no way one man can be universally sexy.
Idris Elba
It could be Grammy night, Oscar night, whatever - I don't feel the pressure to be there.
