I'd love to do a cop film in America. That's a genre I absolutely adore.
Danny Boyle

Although computer chips now are thinner, they're more powerful, they're not as reliable. You'd harvest computer chips from the 1980s from all around the world because they're reliable.

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.

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.

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.

Directing is a mixture of compromise and perfectionism. When you lose the judgment of which is more important at any particular moment, you're time is over. They find you out and send you packing.
Danny Boyle

I don't want to make pompous, serious films I like films that have a kind of vivacity about them.
Danny Boyle
Image
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.

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
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.
Danny Boyle
Image
If you have to be persuaded about something, you shouldn't do it.
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
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
Image
I'm a big sports fan. Football. Cricket.
Danny Boyle
Image
If you take a loud pride in anything, people will rightly shoot you down.
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
You can't tell someone they are wrong about their own life.
Danny Boyle

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