Frank Cottrell Boyce, writer, ‘Millions’ and the Olympic Opening Ceremony
‘Danny's real superpower is to build loyalty. He asks people that he trusts rather than finding the most prestigious person. For the Olympics, he needed someone to write a percussion concerto and he didn't ask Philip Glass or Michael Nyman. He asked Rick from Underworld. That's his magic.’
‘When he asked me to do the Olympics, I immediately said yes. That’s another thing about Danny. I had no idea what it meant or if I’d get paid, or even if it would be career suicide. I just said ‘yeah’. If Danny thinks it’s okay, you trust him.’
