Being Able To Work With Ridley Scott

I Try To Fit In Workouts Whenever I Can.

It's Weird Because My Parents Don't Really Understand My Business. I Get Fan Mail All Day Long, But If A Piece Happens To Get To Their House, They're Like, 'oh, My God, You've Got A Fan! You Have To Write Them Back. You Have To Do It!

There's The Argument That You Can Relate To Someone Who's Completely Unrelatable. In The Way That A Director Shows You His Imagination On A Film, Then I Get To Show You My Imagination In A Big Dumb Character.

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.

My Definition Of Bad-ass Is That I'm A Force Of Nature And True Spirit. I'm Self-admitting That, And It Sounds Vain To Say That, But I Am.
