Cannes is the oldest film festival in the world, and I've long dreamed of having one of my films there in competition. It's a dream that lay dormant for a long time; I stopped believing in it.

Cannes is a very strange place. I tried to show up as best I could and to try not to be cynical.

I've been to Cannes 15 or 16 times, and every time I go, there's a kind of soul-stirring feeling.

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

People come to Cannes just to advertise their films, not with a particular message. But the advantage is that if you go to the festival, you get so much press coverage in three days that it advertises the film for the rest of the year.

I remember in 1968 when we were in Cannes, in the festival, and we were supposed to be there 10 days, and the second day the festival collapsed because the French, you know, film-makers raised the red flag in the festival and ended the festival.

I love the Cannes Film Festival. From the lavish parties and events to the red carpet attire, this star-studded week-long event is where I get a lot of inspiration for hair and fashion.

When I have to go to Cannes, that is boring to me.

As far as festivals, nothing tops Cannes.

I think Cannes is usually pretty fair in choosing what will play well to the home festival crowd.
