I'm a big sports fan. Football. Cricket.

I'd love to do a cop film in America. That's a genre I absolutely adore.

Image
Originally I'm a big pop-music aficionado, that's my love.
Danny Boyle
Image
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
Image
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.

My dad was a labourer and my mum had exactly the same job as Noel Gallagher's mum - she was a dinner lady at our local school. Everyone comes over from Ireland and they get the same jobs.

Its easy to like the most popular films, but I have a great fondness for A Life Less Ordinary.

I want people to leave the cinema feeling that something's been confirmed for them about life.
Danny Boyle

Actors are steeped in a world of agents and where the next job is coming from and what are their expenses and what is the hotel like. You want to take them out of that world and dump them into another world, so that when you meet them on the screen they don't seem like the guy who was in two others movies that year.

I don't want to make pompous, serious films.
Danny Boyle
Image
The extraordinary thing about India is that it's such a family place. It's full of families everywhere.
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

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
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
Image
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
Image
It's a nice way to put the focus back on this simple act... if someone creates you.
Danny Boyle
Image
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

I made this film 'The Beach,' which didn't take place in a city, and it didn't really suit me.

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.
