Danny Boyle's quotes

  • You don't realize it, but often people are frightened of the director.
  • I learned that what I'm better at is making stuff lower down the radar. Actually, ideally not on the radar at all.
  • I want my films to be life-affirming, even a film like Trainspotting (1996), which is very dark in many ways. I want people to leave the cinema feeling that something's been confirmed for them about life.
  • I think I'm better at making films on my home turf, really. You learn from experience and I've learnt that through The Beach (2000). I love big movies, like Gladiator (2000), but I'm better at smaller films.
  • When I was making Sunshine (2007), it suddenly struck me: No director has ever gone back into space, with the exception of franchise directors. If you look at the record, you'll find that's true. I now know why.
  • What I've always wanted to do is to try and make it look like $100m but it doesn't cost that - I find that really liberating.
