Bond? it is a bit like saying, 'do you want to play superman?' anyone would dream of it. it's one of the most coveted roles in film. i'd be honoured. but i don't know if it will actually happen. i'm just happy with the idea of being associated with it. it's nice there's a lot of good will.

More From Idris Elba

American writers often say they find it difficult to write superman. they say he's too powerful; you can't give him problems. but superman is a metaphor. for me, superman has the same problems we do, but on a paul bunyan scale. if superman walks the dog, he walks it around the asteroid belt because it can fly in space. when superman's relatives visit, they come from the 31st century and bring some hellish monster conqueror from the future. but it's still a story about your relatives visiting.
Dog Powerful Writing
If the nation can issue a dollar bond it can issue a dollar bill. the element that makes the bond good makes the bill good also. the difference between the bond and the bill is that the bond lets the money broker collect twice the amount of the bond and an additional 20%. whereas the currency, the honest sort provided by the constitution pays nobody but those who contribute in some useful way. it is absurd to say our country can issue bonds and cannot issue currency. both are promises to pay, but one fattens the usurer and the other helps the people.

Well i'm superman, just not action. i'm kind of looking for something with a lot less action and more talking and listening. i also have a film that's premiering vegas film festival, short film, directed by joel kelly, it's called denial and it's a story, short film, 35 mm short film and it's about a man's struggle to choose between the woman of his dreams and his reality, so it's definitely different than superman. so i'm really proud of that.
Dream Struggle Reality
The new bond film, will be a big, big hit, because every bond film is an event. fathers take their sons to it; probably grandfathers. it's been a long time, and i think that the success of bond is because the audiences have never been cheated by the producers. they always spend every penny, put it on the screen, and then the things that people expect to see in a bond film - big action scenes, glamorous ladies - it's pure escapism.
Father Son Thinking
So often, we blame other people when, really, the problem is right down in here. i'm not happy. i don't know what's wrong. if i just had another job, i could be happy. if i just get married, i would be happy. well if i just wasn't married, i would be happy. well, if i just had some kids, i'll be happy. i'll be happy when these kids finally grow up and get out of here. if i had a bigger house, i would be happy. well, i got a big house. now if i just had a maid to clean, i'd be happy. well, now if i just had a maid i could get along with better, i'd be happy.
Happiness Jobs Growing Up
There were two recording studios in bellingham. one was really expensive, a "nice studio." we were at the point where we were young and irreverent. we would scoff at the idea of a nice studio. "why would you want to go to a nice studio? oh wow, they have really expensive gear. ooh, that's really fancy. well we've got an eight-track. we've got it going on here." now that we have the resources, we're like, "oh wow, a nice studio is pretty nice! they do have nice outboards here. it's actually a pretty good place." it's funny how much changes so quickly.
