Always changing genres, making very different films is a good idea. It's a way of making yourself feel vulnerable again, getting back to that innocence. As is working within a circumspect budget.

Although computer chips now are thinner, they're more powerful, they're not as reliable. You'd harvest computer chips from the 1980s from all around the world because they're reliable.

I want people to leave the cinema feeling that something's been confirmed for them about life.
Danny Boyle

Directing is a mixture of compromise and perfectionism. When you lose the judgment of which is more important at any particular moment, you're time is over. They find you out and send you packing.
Danny Boyle
Image
I always think, when there's stuff that people don't like, I always say that if I have another success, I'll enjoy it more, but you don't really.
