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
I haven't got anything against films that are about the minutia of relationships or customs, but I love extremes.
Danny Boyle
Image
If you have to be persuaded about something, you shouldn't do it.
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
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
Image
That survival instinct, that will to live, that need to get back to life again, is more powerful than any consideration of taste, decency, politeness, manners, civility. Anything. It's such a powerful force.

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.

I've sort of escaped my background, as people often do, through art and culture.
Danny Boyle
Image
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've always wanted to do a space movie.
Danny Boyle
Image
I like action movies, even though I think action movies are kind of derided now. But there is something extraordinary about action movies, which is absolutely linked to the invention of cinema and what cinema is and why we love it.
Danny Boyle
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
You can't tell someone they are wrong about their own life.
Danny Boyle
Image
I'd love to do a cop film in America. That's a genre I absolutely adore.
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
Image
I want people to leave the cinema feeling that something's been confirmed for them about life.
