Danny Boyle

I love cities. ”

I haven't got anything against films that are about the minutia of relationships or customs, but I love extremes. ”

If you love a book you tend not to follow its surface value, you follow the other things in it. ”

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

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. ”

I don't want people to sit there and objectively watch the film. I want them to experience it as something that's under their skin, so you try to make the films really tactile. ”

I was brought up a very strict Catholic and I don't practice anymore or anything. ”

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. ”

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

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