The extraordinary thing about India is that it's such a family place. It's full of families everywhere.

The great thing about space films generally, with the exception of Apollo 13, is that big stars tend not to work in space and I think that's because space is an equaliser. It makes everyone the same really and suits an ensemble cast and actors who are prepared to work with each other.

I say to first time filmmakers that when they're asked, they should go to America as you're far more likely to get a chance.

As soon as you think you can do whatever you want and you have whatever great professional in the world waiting to work with you, then you are sunk.

Film industry is a pretty brutal business. If you fall too far behind, all of the perfectionism in the world won't save you.

Movies are about time. You can take that momentum and manipulate time as well, or you can deliberately slow it down, stop it, and start it again. There is no other art form that does that type of manipulation in that way.

If you have to be persuaded about something, you shouldn't do it.

Events in the present can trigger quite a young part of ourselves. If we don't take responsibility and start looking after that young part of ourselves, we can start asking partners to look after that part of ourselves or we wound ourselves.

Image
A lot of film directors are quite scared of actors. They are a bit of a nightmare sometimes, but I like them. It looks like cunning, but you try to get extra things from them all the time, by stealth, by making them feel confident, so they trust you and you can push a bit.

I'm a big sports fan. Football. Cricket.

Image
That survival instinct, that will to live, that need to get back to life again, is more powerful than any consideration of taste, decency, politeness, manners, civility. Anything. It's such a powerful force.

You can't tell someone they are wrong about their own life.

Its easy to like the most popular films, but I have a great fondness for A Life Less Ordinary.
Danny Boyle
Image
The great thing with film is that it doesn't have an ego. It's just a film. Everybody that makes them has an ego, and the problem with awards and stuff like that is that it always affects the egos, and everyone gets stained by it in some way. And that can be fine and very innocent, but it can be horrible as well.

I'd love to do a modern-day musical that's full of original music. To get your contemporaries to sing and dance without looking foolish and for it to be transformational and magical and all those things a musical is supposed to be.

Originally I'm a big pop-music aficionado, that's my love.

Everybody expects you to be qualified to talk about your films, but in a way, you're the least qualified person to talk about them. When you're finished, you don't watch them at all.

It just seduces you when you read a story and your brain relates to it. You recognize or connect with it. You identify with it you're bound to.

I've sort of escaped my background, as people often do, through art and culture.
