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
If you take a loud pride in anything, people will rightly shoot you down.
Danny Boyle
Actors are steeped in a world of agents and where the next job is coming from and what are their expenses and what is the hotel like. You want to take them out of that world and dump them into another world, so that when you meet them on the screen they don't seem like the guy who was in two others movies that year.
Danny Boyle
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
If I was American, I think I'd live in New York, because I like that East Coast mentality. There's nothing wrong with Hollywood. If you want to be a big time filmmaker, you should go to Hollywood.
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 made this film 'The Beach,' which didn't take place in a city, and it didn't really suit me.
Danny Boyle
I haven't got anything against films that are about the minutia of relationships or customs, but I love extremes.
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
If you have to be persuaded about something, you shouldn't do it.
Danny Boyle
To be a film-maker, you have to lead. You have to be psychotic in your desire to do something. People always like the easy route. You have to push very hard to get something unusual, something different.
Danny Boyle
I've always wanted to do a space movie.
Danny Boyle
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.
Danny Boyle
I'd love to do a cop film in America. That's a genre I absolutely adore.
Danny Boyle
My dad was a labourer and my mum had exactly the same job as Noel Gallagher's mum - she was a dinner lady at our local school. Everyone comes over from Ireland and they get the same jobs.
Danny Boyle
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
I always say to anybody who's going over to America for the first time, 'Whatever you do, go and see a popular mainstream film with a big audience.' Because people shout out. You never get that in Britain. Everybody's so quiet, scared to laugh. It's like being in church.
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
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
The extraordinary thing about India is that it's such a family place. It's full of families everywhere.
Danny Boyle
I want people to leave the cinema feeling that something's been confirmed for them about life.
Danny Boyle
