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.

I want people to leave the cinema feeling that something's been confirmed for them about life.

You can have great sequences ...

You can have great sequences with music, but if you don't have the acting you're bored after 15 minutes. Or not bored, but you're like, 'So what?'

Danny Boyle 128 quotes

Both of my sisters have been ...

Both of my sisters have been teachers and they used to say you get asked between 300 and 600 questions every day which you have to answer. That's exactly what directing is. And the vast majority of those questions are not very interesting really, but they need somebody to make a decision - a good one or a bad one - and they follow it.

The great thing with film is ...

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.

The sun is the most important thing in everybody's life, whether you're a plant, an animal or a fish, and we take it for granted.

I'm a big sports fan. Football. Cricket.

To be a film-maker, you have to lead. You have to be psychotic in your desire to do something. People always like the easy route. You have to push very hard to get something unusual, something different.

The problem with being British... I don't know if it's me being British or being raised a strict Catholic, but you never really enjoy success.

I like action movies, even though I think action movies are kind of derided now. But there is something extraordinary about action movies, which is absolutely linked to the invention of cinema and what cinema is and why we love it.

I grew up in a city, I'm a city person - I go on holiday and I'm bored.

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 128 quotes

It's not so much what you lea...

It's not so much what you learn about Mumbai, it's what you learn about yourself, really. It's a funny old hippie thing, but it's true as well. You find out a lot about yourself and your tolerance, and about your inclusiveness.

One of Dickens' biggest influences was the growth of London as a Victorian city, and the extremes being created as it expanded.

Danny Boyle 128 quotes

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.

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

Danny Boyle 128 quotes

It's easy to like the most popular films, but I have a great fondness for 'A Life Less Ordinary'.

Danny Boyle 128 quotes

That survival instinct, that ...

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.
