Quote

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.

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

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
Image
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.

I love watching the Bond movies obviously and I grew up reading the books as a kid. I've always loved them because of that.

Come a crisis, we want other people.

I don't want to make pompous, serious films I like films that have a kind of vivacity about them.
Danny Boyle
Image
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

If you take a loud pride in anything, people will rightly shoot you down.
Danny Boyle

It's a nice way to put the focus back on this simple act... if someone creates you.
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.

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

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

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

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.

Image
I haven't got anything against films that are about the minutia of relationships or customs, but I love extremes.
Danny Boyle
Image
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.

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