Danny Boyle quote: "You can't tell someone they are wrong about their own life."
You can't tell someone they are wrong about their own life. Danny Boyle
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. Danny Boyle
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. Danny Boyle

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
Danny Boyle quote: "I kind of call myself an atheist, I suppose - although quite a..."
I kind of call myself an atheist, I suppose - although quite a spiritual atheist, I hope. Danny Boyle
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. Danny Boyle
I always say to anybody who's going over to America for the first time, 'Whatever you do, go and see a popular mainstream film with a big audience.' Because people shout out. You never get that in Britain. Everybody's so quiet, scared to laugh. It's like being in church. Danny Boyle
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
