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.

More quotes by 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 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 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
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'd love to do a cop film in America. That's a genre I absolutely adore.
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.
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
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
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
I'm a big sports fan. Football. Cricket.
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
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
If you take a loud pride in anything, people will rightly shoot you down.
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
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
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.
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
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
I want people to leave the cinema feeling that something's been confirmed for them about life.
Danny Boyle
