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.

More quotes by 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
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 tend to score with songs from Western pop music.
Danny Boyle
I've always wanted to do a space movie.
Danny Boyle
I'm a big sports fan. Football. Cricket.
Danny Boyle
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
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'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
If you have to be persuaded about something, you shouldn't do it.
Danny Boyle
Film industry is a pretty brutal business. If you fall too far behind, all of the perfectionism in the world won't save you.
Danny Boyle
Come a crisis, we want other people.
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
There's lots of things that can be solved with cash. And there's occasional things that can't be solved with cash, which become a bureaucratic nightmare for some reason, and there's no distinction between the two.
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.
Danny Boyle
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
If you take a loud pride in anything, people will rightly shoot you down.
Danny Boyle
I always think, when there's stuff that people don't like, I always say that if I have another success, I'll enjoy it more, but you don't really.
Danny Boyle
A lot of film directors are quite scared of actors. They are a bit of a nightmare sometimes, but I like them. It looks like cunning, but you try to get extra things from them all the time, by stealth, by making them feel confident, so they trust you and you can push a bit.
Danny Boyle
I don't want to make pompous, serious films I like films that have a kind of vivacity about them.
Danny Boyle
