More quotes by Danny Boyle
Its easy to like the most popular films, but I have a great fondness for A Life Less Ordinary.
Danny Boyle
There are three huge, titanic, space movies which if you ever make a film [about space] you cannot avoid. You may want to avoid them but you cannot. I've never known a genre like it where you are dictated to by these films, 2001, Alien, and Tarkovsky's Solaris.
Danny Boyle
If you have to be persuaded about something, you shouldn't do it.
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
I haven't got anything against films that are about the minutia of relationships or customs, but I love extremes.
Danny Boyle
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.
Danny Boyle
The extraordinary thing about India is that it's such a family place. It's full of families everywhere.
Danny Boyle
You can't tell someone they are wrong about their own life.
Danny Boyle
Come a crisis, we want other people.
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 tend to score with songs from Western pop music.
Danny Boyle
I've sort of escaped my background, as people often do, through art and culture.
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 love watching the Bond movies obviously and I grew up reading the books as a kid. I've always loved them because of that.
Danny Boyle
Most films that I do, whether successful or not, just fade away. They have their moment in the sun, then they are gone. 'Trainspotting' did not, and especially with journalists. So whenever I launched a new film, I'd end up talking about 'Trainspotting.'
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 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
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
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
Film industry is a pretty brutal business. If you fall too far behind, all of the perfectionism in the world won't save you.
