It was deeply important for me to understand where Mandela came from. Because we know where he was going, and that's a famous story, but who was he? Where did he come from? What was his upbringing?

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.

The directors [who know every detail] make films that are complete, basically.

There's a fast-track if you can do the networking. For some personalities it works, but for mine it doesn't.

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

Sean Connery wasn't the Scottish James Bond, and Daniel Craig wasn't the blue-eyed James Bond. So if I played him, I don't want to be called the black James Bond.

I don't get recognised that much yet in London, but when I do I get a real sense of achievement.
