Quote

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

Image
I don't want to make pompous, serious films.
Danny Boyle
Image
There are three huge, titanic, space movies which if you ever make a film [about space] you cannot avoid. You may want to avoid them but you cannot. I've never known a genre like it where you are dictated to by these films, 2001, Alien, and Tarkovsky's Solaris.
Danny Boyle
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.
Danny Boyle
Image
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
Image
Originally I'm a big pop-music aficionado, that's my love.
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.
Danny Boyle
Image
Its easy to like the most popular films, but I have a great fondness for A Life Less Ordinary.
Danny Boyle
Image
I've sort of escaped my background, as people often do, through art and culture.
Danny Boyle
Image
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.

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
As soon as you think you can do whatever you want and you have whatever great professional in the world waiting to work with you, then you are sunk.
Danny Boyle
Image
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.
Danny Boyle
Image
I've just been to the Taj Mahal which I'd never been to and I'm not a very romantic kind of guy but it is the most romantic thing I've ever seen.
Danny Boyle
Image
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
Image
I'm a big sports fan. Football. Cricket.
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
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 want people to leave the cinema feeling that something's been confirmed for them about life.
Danny Boyle
Image
I'd love to do a cop film in America. That's a genre I absolutely adore.
Danny Boyle
Image
One of the traditions of film acting is a sort of mumbled realism. Be minimal, and do less. 'Even less than that.'
Danny Boyle
