Television is where I cut my teeth.

I've always been DJing; it's just I'm making more of a push for it, making it more public.

I try to fit in workouts whenever I can.

Being able to work with Ridley Scott on this film is like being able to play on the Olympic team for actors.

In some countries, no one knows who Idris Elba is.

I want to go to Sierra Leone with something - whether it's some sort of contribution to healthcare, or to the entertainment industry. My cousin is a nurse; we are talking about opening a clinic.

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.
