I get criticized for taking roles in films like Ghost Rider 2, but if you look at my résumé, dude, I've mixed it up as much as I can.

I dont have a place that I call home at the moment because theres no point. I mean, Im a traveling circus for a while. Its weird. Like, if I wanted to go home, theres nowhere to go. I just go to a hotel. But Ive kind of gotten used to it.

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

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

Imagine a film such as Inception with an entire cast of black people - do you think it would be successful? Would people watch it? But no one questions the fact that everyone's white. That's what we have to change.

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

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