If I Was Gonna Go To Jail,

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.

I'm Rebelling Against Being Handed A Career, Like, 'you're The Next This; You're The Next That.' I'm Not The Next Anything, I'm The First Me. I Can't Be Myself, I Can't Just Be Idris Elba. But That's Just The Nature Of The Business.

I Wasn't Bad At School, But I Was Never A Bookworm.

I Was In The Wire For Three Years, And I Left At The Highlight Of That.
