More quotes by 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'm a big sports fan. Football. Cricket.
Danny Boyle
The perfect equation is form equals content. The style of the film reflects the story, and that's what you're always aiming for. You're not always necessarily successful at it, but that's the ambition that you're trying to do.
Danny Boyle
I haven't got anything against films that are about the minutia of relationships or customs, but I love extremes.
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
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
I want people to leave the cinema feeling that something's been confirmed for them about life.
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
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
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
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
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
If you take a loud pride in anything, people will rightly shoot you down.
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
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'd love to do a cop film in America. That's a genre I absolutely adore.
Danny Boyle
But interestingly Star City's technology is all 1970s - still. In fact, it's alarming because you think, You're not going to send someone up into space in something that old, are you? But it works and it always has worked and it doesn't fail and it's incredibly reliable.
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
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
Originally I'm a big pop-music aficionado, that's my love.
Danny Boyle
