Television, for me, is a medium that I'm probably always going to be attached to, one way or another.

It's actually quite criminal how 'The Wire' was systematically ignored.

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

Are there differences between black actors’ opportunities and white actors’ opportunities? Yes, there are. It’s been said.

There are things that I really find important, and that we need to remind ourselves of. When you think about disability, do you really think about it? Someone who's a full-time trainer or a boxer, someone who's got a major disability, but who doesn't let that get in his way, that's a really good message for someone who is able-bodied. It can make them think, 'Wow, I suppose I could be doing better for myself.'

I'm never shaken or stirred.

What I like about their films is that you actually feel the momentum of whatever they're shooting. So, if someone's falling out a window, it gives the opportunity to show what that might feel like.
