Even though one of them is about an Edinburgh junkie and ones a little boy of eight in Manchester, you want them to always portray their world in such a vivid way that the audience can disappear inside the story.
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.
Danny Boyle
Image
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 great thing with film is that it doesn't have an ego. It's just a film. Everybody that makes them has an ego, and the problem with awards and stuff like that is that it always affects the egos, and everyone gets stained by it in some way. And that can be fine and very innocent, but it can be horrible as well.

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.

I've always wanted to do a space movie.

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.

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
Image
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
Image
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'm a big sports fan. Football. Cricket.
Danny Boyle
Image
I don't want to make pompous, serious films I like films that have a kind of vivacity about them.
Danny Boyle
Image
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
Image
If you have to be persuaded about something, you shouldn't do it.
Danny Boyle
Image
Film industry is a pretty brutal business. If you fall too far behind, all of the perfectionism in the world won't save you.

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.

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.

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.

It's interesting, the worse things get in cities, the tougher that cities get, the more brutal the humor is. The tougher things people face, the darker the sense of humor gets and I find that incredibly optimistic.
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.
