It feels so good to be able to be part of an action flick like 'The Raid' and to read the rave reviews in a number of film festivals.
I've always been dead set against festivals - really suspicious and wary.
I love being in public places, but I can't stand long, drawn-out music festivals.
I think people expect mud at festivals, I think you'd be asking for your money back if you didn't get it.
We also did something called the Texas Peace Festival, which was actually a better gig both musically, and in the way it was organised.
Living in Edinburgh, I consider myself particularly lucky - we have the biggest book festival in the world, a plethora of fascinating libraries and museums, and some of the greatest architecture in Europe.
The whole aspect of cinema and film festivals should be a moment to come together and celebrate art and humanity. It would be a shame if there was such a divide.
The light teaches you to convert life into a festive promenade.
If you're not keen on crowds, it might be best to give Edinburgh a miss during festival time when it can get extremely busy.
Now I'm doing a film festival for kids and writing a script about a kidnapped journalist in Afghanistan.
Live every day as if it is a festival. Turn your life into a celebration
We program the festival, after 20 years, exactly the way we did on the first day.
Celebrate Life. To truly live, Celebrate each day of Life. Let each day be a Festival of Joy.-RVM
My favourite festival experience is a show at midnight with the moon blazing and a crowd full of open hearts ready to dance.
I think Cannes is usually pretty fair in choosing what will play well to the home festival crowd.
Well I went to New Orleans to cover the jazz festival for Trio, it's this new arts channel, it's really great.
The British love of queuing and discomfort and being bossed around seems to have found a new outlet in the pop festival.
I think the only festival I ever went to was Warped Tour.
Listen, anybody who has a film festival has the right to show what they want.
The surest guide to the correctness of the path that women take is joy in the struggle. Revolution is the festival of the oppressed.
I did a short film called 'Disco' and won an award for Best Supporting Actor at an indie film festival, and that was nice. Hopefully there's lots more to come.
