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.

More quotes by Danny Boyle
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.
Danny Boyle
Movies are about time. You can take that momentum and manipulate time as well, or you can deliberately slow it down, stop it, and start it again. There is no other art form that does that type of manipulation in that way.
Danny Boyle
The most important thing about Olympics, of course, is the games and not the opening ceremony. It's weird the way it gets inverted sometimes.
Danny Boyle
I made this film 'The Beach,' which didn't take place in a city, and it didn't really suit me.
Danny Boyle
Come a crisis, we want other people.
Danny Boyle
I don't want people to sit there and objectively watch the film. I want them to experience it as something that's under their skin, so you try to make the films really tactile.
Danny Boyle
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
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.
Danny Boyle
It's a nice way to put the focus back on this simple act... if someone creates you.
Danny Boyle
If you take a loud pride in anything, people will rightly shoot you down.
Danny Boyle
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
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 want people to leave the cinema feeling that something's been confirmed for them about life.
Danny Boyle
I'm a big sports fan. Football. Cricket.
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
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
If you have to be persuaded about something, you shouldn't do it.
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've sort of escaped my background, as people often do, through art and culture.
Danny Boyle
Actors want to impress at the beginning, so you take advantage of that by suddenly saying, 'Right, you're here for two weeks.' What you're doing is creating a siege mentality.
Danny Boyle
