I was four days old when I went to my first bluegrass festival.
It probably wasn't until Nine Inch Nails played the first Lollapalooza that I actually went to a festival.
So, the concept was a single-stage festival, and I open and close the festival to encourage people to stay for all of the other artists.
I've been to the Reading festival twice before-as a punter, though I stayed backstage in the hospitality tent!
I went to a festival pretending to work as a journalist to get free tickets and interview people I really admired. I remember one of these people was Guillermo del Toro.
My one experience with Lollapalooza was in 2009 - it was actually the first music festival I've ever been to.
Usually, when I'm at a festival with a movie that I'm in, I'm in and out in 24 hours.
The economic picture in the States today doesn't allow for jazz concerts in a tour fashion. People now are too used to the Festival, which gives them more names for the same price.
Every film you see at a festival teaches you something.
At a festival, some people are just there because they're waiting for, like, Calvin Harris to come on later.
I never go to film festivals. I am allergic to them.
I like being a patron of things, I like patronizing things. And if it's not going to be people, I'll patronize a festival.
