I'm Never Shaken Or Stirred.

I Come From An Era, In My World, Where You Just Had To Define Yourself As Who You Are And What You Do. I Happen To Be An Actor. I Happen To Be Someone That Loves To Act, That Also Likes Music, That Also Likes To Speak, And That Also Has An Opinion.

If I Was Gonna Go To Jail, I Don't Want To Go To Jail For Stealing A Bottle Of Water. I'll Steal That $20 Million. At Least Then It Was Worth It.

In Some Countries, No One Knows Who Idris Elba Is.

I Was On A Well-beaten Path Of Actors - What We All Call 'the Law And Order Route'. I Spent Two Years Of Auditioning For Everything... And Then 'the Wire' Came Up.

I Wanted To Be On American Tv So Much. I Didn't Park Dj'ing; I Just Sort Of Ended Up Becoming More Of A Studio Guy. I Had A Bit More Money And I Could Buy Every Little Piece Of Equipment And Drum Machine That Had Just Come Out - I've Got Quite A Collection Now - And I Continued To Collect Music.
