More quotes by Danny Boyle
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.
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
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
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
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
I've just been to the Taj Mahal which I'd never been to and I'm not a very romantic kind of guy but it is the most romantic thing I've ever seen.
Danny Boyle
The extraordinary thing about India is that it's such a family place. It's full of families everywhere.
Danny Boyle
I've sort of escaped my background, as people often do, through art and culture.
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 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
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
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
I don't want to make pompous, serious films I like films that have a kind of vivacity about them.
Danny Boyle
If I was American, I think I'd live in New York, because I like that East Coast mentality. There's nothing wrong with Hollywood. If you want to be a big time filmmaker, you should go to Hollywood.
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 don't want to make pompous, serious films.
Danny Boyle
I'm a big sports fan. Football. Cricket.
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
I want people to leave the cinema feeling that something's been confirmed for them about life.
Danny Boyle
I'd love to do a cop film in America. That's a genre I absolutely adore.
