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.
In some countries, no one knows who Idris Elba is.
Idris Elba is a grand actor. He's very larger than life; he's bigger than life.
He looked up at them, a scruffy Napoleon with his laces trailing, exiled to a rose-trellised Elba.
