Africans, We Hold On To Our Youths

I Still Sing On Bits And Pieces. Singing's Something That I Love To Do, But It's Not Something That I Pursue As A Career.

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

As Much As It's Nice To Step Into That Massive World Of Hollywood And Be A Big, Famous Actor, I Prefer The Career Of Actors That Have Really Chosen Smartly And Done Really Amazing Performances. Maybe They're Not As Known, But Their Careers Are A Bit More Interesting.

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.

I'd Rather A Young Black Actor Read About Success As Opposed To How Tough It Was. I Get These Roles Because I Can Act And That's It. Hopefully That's It.
