The Audience Loves It When

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.'

In Some Countries, No One Knows Who Idris Elba Is.

I Find That A Lot Of Actors Who Are Good And Open To Challenges Have Lived A Full Life. When You Walk Into An Audition, You Have More To Say For Yourself Because You Come From The Real World. It's More Enticing For Directors, I Think.

The Directors [who Know Every Detail] Make Films That Are Complete, Basically.

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.
