Brigitte Bardot Quotes

As far as festivals, nothing tops Cannes.

So, where's the Cannes Film Festival being held this year?

Cannes is the largest festival of world cinema.

Cannes is a lot of work, since it's a market festival and a serious festival, and they really work you, understandably.

I first visited the Toronto fest in 1979, its fourth edition, when it was known as the Festival of Festivals and had an audience of about 40,000. I happily returned to the 10-day skein nearly every year thereafter, as attendance swelled to 400,000 and it grew into the most influential film festival in North America, perhaps the world.

Cannes is one of the biggest film festivals across the globe, and getting your film selected for a screening is quite a big achievement.

Until you've been to Cannes, it's hard to describe to someone the magnitude of that festival.

In terms of film festivals, Cannes is the greatest launch pad.

I was super happy when I went to Cannes Film Festival - I got a full sponsorship from my favourite Danish brand, Mads Norgaard.

Though all festivals are important, this Cannes Festival starts off the season.

The Cannes Film Festival is the biggest, most prestigious film festival in the world. This is where filmmakers are discovered, where futures are made, and the most important films premiered.

Each year we go to the Cannes film festival and I tend to have all my friends pile in the back of my car and we'll drive from London. The poor production company think they're only putting me up and suddenly they've got eight people sleeping on my hotel room floor.

I think Hollywood has always, you know, there's always been glamour associated to it. And especially in the last ten years there has been a growing sort of obsession with celebrity life and celebrity culture.

I think one day I'd like to win an Oscar.

I don't go to premieres. I attend film openings I'm in, and that's about it. Fame and celebrity doesn't matter to me. The longevity of my career does.

The possibility of an Oscar is something I definitely think about and the fact that I can even say that is just a blessing. It's something I would be incredibly honored to be a part of.

I'm the first to admit that I'm still pretty young.

That was never my intention to compete with the Oscars.

I think I've always been kept grounded. I've never been too involved with the movie business apart from just doing the film. I've never moved out to LA like a lot of people or been too drawn in by that.

It was pop culture, entertainment, Hollywood, award shows - these are the things that really captivated me as a kid. I would watch the Oscars and every award show with my parents. I would make lists of who was going to win.

Sometimes, in the dressing room, I think I am in Hollywood.

Look, it's very easy to sit here right now with some films in the bank that I like and think I have a shot and feel pretty cocky. But, you know, three years from now, I could very easily be saying, 'Paper or plastic?'

Through the lights cameras and action, glamour glitters and gold I unfold the scroll, plant seeds to stampede the globe.

Arguably, the Venice Film Festival is the second best film festival in the world, after Cannes.

The movie industry is full of crazy people who think that they are god.
