A Quote by Idris Elba

I don't get recognised that much yet in London, but when I do I get a real sense of achievement. — © Idris Elba
I don't get recognised that much yet in London, but when I do I get a real sense of achievement.
If you do something right you get a real sense of achievement and an adrenalin rush.
It's great to get an 'F', but you also want to give the sense that there's something outside achievement. I've seen a lot of so-called high-achievers who don't feel they've achieved much.
When I'm at home, I do get recognised more often, and I don't need to be in sports clothes to be recognised, which is different.
I don't get recognised in London or at home either - very seldom anyway. Either that or I look so crazy no one wants to come up to me.
I don't get recognised that much in the street.
I don't really get recognised very much.
I get recognised sometimes. But I just live my life. I get on the bus, I get on the subway, it's not a problem.
I love the London vibe. I get so much love from London that I never had from other places. It's crazy. The people there understand music so much more.
I'm quite lucky, really: I don't get recognised too much.
I never get recognised here in London, which I like. Once a year, someone comes up to me and asks if I am 'so-and-so's niece' because they think they recognise me from somewhere. I like that.
I do get recognised, but not as much as someone like Dev Patel or Nicole Kidman.
I think I feel good as a South African player that people say that we always get into semifinal and lose... this is one of the biggest achievements to get into semifinal. Not many teams do that. For me, it's a real achievement.
One of the problems when you become successful is that jealousy and envy inevitably follow. There are people - I categorize them as life's losers - who get their sense of accomplishment and achievement from trying to stop others. As far as I'm concerned, if they had any real ability, they wouldn't be fighting me, they'd be doing something constructive themselves.
You see me. What you see is what you get. You get real martial arts, you get real fighting, you get a real warrior mentality. Some people aren't mature enough to handle it.
I've lived in the same place in London for the last seven years, I go and get my shopping, I get on buses, and [all the rest] is pretty much outside of who I am.
I think every athlete wants to get sponsored. If you do really well in your sport, then I think sponsorship can help you get rewarded in that sense: doing what you can for your sponsor. It's just another achievement in life.
