- |
- Nov 07, 2020

- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020

- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The way that 'Vampire' was born was over a lunch. We got asked to do the show. A week later, we were hired. A week later, we were writing it. The minute we handed it in, it was ordered. The minute we shot it, it was picked up. Then we started working. There was never any, like, 'OK, here's what this show is...' We had to figure it out as we went.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020

- Grown Man
- |
- Nov 07, 2020

- |

- Myself
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
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.
- Government
- |
- Nov 07, 2020

- |

I can pinpoint the exact moment when I first began to think about what profession I should go into. It was 1978.

I was now a man. This was a tragedy.

- History
- |

- Diary
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I did not destroy the 43 volumes of my diary, which report on all these events and the share I had in them; but of my own accord I handed them voluntarily to the officers of the American Army who arrested me.

- |
- Nov 07, 2020

- Job
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I was a journalist. I was a drummer. I was everything. I didn't know what the heck I was. But with Jack Paar, the job was very specific - no confusion. You came in each day. You wrote five pages of jokes. You handed the pages in... The pressure was to write five pages of jokes every day. I did it, and I thought, 'This is what I like to do.'
- Best
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
'Motorcycle Diaries' had the best costumes - that battered jacket and those linen shirts. I wear linen shirts in real life, too, and I have a nice, simple number I got handed down. As a father, you just stop buying stuff for yourself. It's all for the kids.
