Quote

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 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
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

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.

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.

Image
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.

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

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.

Come a crisis, we want other people.

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.

You can't tell someone they are wrong about their own life.

Film industry is a pretty brutal business. If you fall too far behind, all of the perfectionism in the world won't save you.

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.
Danny Boyle
Image
I've never done a film before where every single person in the audience knows the ending. I mean suspense, twists are almost impossible these days. People are blogging your endings from their cinema seats.
Danny Boyle
Image
I made this film 'The Beach,' which didn't take place in a city, and it didn't really suit me.
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.

If you take a loud pride in anything, people will rightly shoot you down.

I tend to score with songs from Western pop music.

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.

The extraordinary thing about India is that it's such a family place. It's full of families everywhere.
Danny Boyle

One of the traditions of film acting is a sort of mumbled realism. Be minimal, and do less. 'Even less than that.'
