More quotes by Danny Boyle
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.
Danny Boyle
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.
Danny Boyle
Originally I'm a big pop-music aficionado, that's my love.
Danny Boyle
If you approach India in the right way, you have so much to learn there about people, and there's so many people. It's such an extraordinary setup, and it's so bewildering how it manages to get through somehow, you can only wonder at it.
Danny Boyle
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.
Danny Boyle
I don't want to make pompous, serious films.
Danny Boyle
Film industry is a pretty brutal business. If you fall too far behind, all of the perfectionism in the world won't save you.
Danny Boyle
I don't want people to sit there and objectively watch the film. I want them to experience it as something that's under their skin, so you try to make the films really tactile.
Danny Boyle
I find that people find a way out of misery through humor and it's humor that's often unacceptable to people who are not in quite such a state of misery.
Danny Boyle
I like action movies, even though I think action movies are kind of derided now. But there is something extraordinary about action movies, which is absolutely linked to the invention of cinema and what cinema is and why we love it.
Danny Boyle
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.
Danny Boyle
I tend to score with songs from Western pop music.
Danny Boyle
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.
Danny Boyle
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.
Danny Boyle
I've always wanted to do a space movie.
Danny Boyle
One of the traditions of film acting is a sort of mumbled realism. Be minimal, and do less. 'Even less than that.'
Danny Boyle
It's a nice way to put the focus back on this simple act... if someone creates you.
Danny Boyle
You live your life and it ends quite quickly and all you can do with it is pass it on decently to someone else. Whether directly or indirectly, behave decently to other people.
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
Normally, I'm a very controlling director. Directors are controlling. It's part of the job, but there's various degrees of it and the constructs I normally work on are very controlling constructs.
