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.

More quotes by 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
Come a crisis, we want other people.
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
If you take a loud pride in anything, people will rightly shoot you down.
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
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
The extraordinary thing about India is that it's such a family place. It's full of families everywhere.
Danny Boyle
Actors want to impress at the beginning, so you take advantage of that by suddenly saying, 'Right, you're here for two weeks.' What you're doing is creating a siege mentality.
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
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.
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
One of the traditions of film acting is a sort of mumbled realism. Be minimal, and do less. 'Even less than that.'
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 don't want to make pompous, serious films I like films that have a kind of vivacity about them.
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
People say you never remember anybody who dies in movies, and it's true, you don't. You don't even remember people who disappear. Although the moment that it happens might be terribly sad and moving, five minutes later, if you're asked to remember that person, you go, Oh right, yeah, yeah! 'Cause you're just moving forward.
Danny Boyle
I've sort of escaped my background, as people often do, through art and culture.
Danny Boyle
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.
Danny Boyle
Originally I'm a big pop-music aficionado, that's my love.
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
