I'd love to do a cop film in America. That's a genre I absolutely adore.
Danny Boyle
Image
There's lots of things that can be solved with cash. And there's occasional things that can't be solved with cash, which become a bureaucratic nightmare for some reason, and there's no distinction between the two.
Danny Boyle
Image
I've never done a film before where every single person in the audience knows the ending. I mean suspense, twists are almost impossible these days. People are blogging your endings from their cinema seats.
Danny Boyle
Image
The extraordinary thing about India is that it's such a family place. It's full of families everywhere.
Danny Boyle
Image
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
Image
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.

The most important thing about Olympics, of course, is the games and not the opening ceremony. It's weird the way it gets inverted sometimes.
Danny Boyle
Image
I haven't got anything against films that are about the minutia of relationships or customs, but I love extremes.
Danny Boyle
Image
I dont see much difference between it and the other films though I can see on a rational and intelligent level there is a big difference.
Danny Boyle
Image
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.
Danny Boyle
Image
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
Image
You use elements of noir, but you don't want it to be too noir-ish. You don't want it to be advertised as though you're asking people to go and watch an updated noir. I don't think they'll go do that. They want to see a modern story.
Danny Boyle

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.
Danny Boyle
Image
Basically, actors arrive in a bubble. They have a little sealed bubble around them and it's basically [comprised of] their agents, their last film, their next film, their press agent, and their per diems - all these things, they cocoon themselves with and you have to puncture that bubble on each of them to make them be in your film.

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
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'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.

Its easy to like the most popular films, but I have a great fondness for A Life Less Ordinary.
Danny Boyle
Image
The perfect equation is form equals content. The style of the film reflects the story, and that's what you're always aiming for. You're not always necessarily successful at it, but that's the ambition that you're trying to do.

I made this film 'The Beach,' which didn't take place in a city, and it didn't really suit me.
