[on `Dr Zhivago`] "Although I went all over the world promoting it, I`d never got to see more than the credits before being whisked away. Finally, at Cannes, I was to sit through the whole thing through. When I appeared for the first time, I fainted from ...

Indian cinema has begun to be recognized globally. And it`s very important for us to make our presence felt at important events such as Cannes. I feel there should be more Indian representation at festivals. India is producing such a large cross section o...

Look at the film buyers and sellers in Cannes any year and you`re basically looking at a lot of shoe-salesmen working out whether it should be sneakers or lace-ups next year.
David Hemmings
Italy to me is like the mean mother. Whatever I do, it`s never good enough. People say I`m the queen of Cannes, but in Italy I get turned down for work.
Asia Argento
I`m not a very popular person. I was pushed to show the unfinished version of Brown Bunny in Cannes, against my judgement. And even though a lot of negative reaction to the film came from not setting up the presentation very well, I still felt responsible...
Vincent Gallo
After winning best actress award at Cannes: "I knew when I said yes that this would be not only my first role but also my last one. I`m very happy that it`s to be this one." Asked whether she might one day reconsider, she said: "I have to do records now. ...
Bjork Guomundsdottir
You get these horrifying straight-to-video things for very little money, then you go to the Cannes Film Festival and they got some poster of you, 40ft high, in the worst movie in the world. You`re like, Oh my God. Take the fucking thing down!"`
Michael Madsen
In the beginning I believed in Cannes, but now it`s just for publicity. 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 t...

Jean-Luc Godard
Vincent was so incredible, so sweet. When we went to Cannes for the film, you know the moment when I come out from the tunnel and we see me for the first time completely with blood all over, he was crying. I said, `Vincent, come on. It`s just a movie. We ...
Monica Bellucci
At the Cannes Film Festival in 1979: "We`re on the brink of something new. It will be similar to the invention of the American musical in the thirties. There will be a conceptualized, musical-video product and everyone`s waiting for the first Sergeant Pep...
Pete Townshend
There`s a wealth of literature out there which, hopefully, will be, you know, exploded in the future, and I personally find it very rewarding to be involved with classic storytelling, and sort of legendary characters. (Spoken in answer to question at Cann...
Sean Bean
On being at the Cannes Film Festival opening of "Breaking the Waves" without the film`s director, Lars von Trier: "It was a bit of a baptism of fire, because I had never done any press before. I had never done a single interview in my life. I had never ma...
Emily Watson
Ever since I went to the Cannes festival, the media overseas really encouraged me to consider the possibilities of working in the West. Then I got a call from some people who worked in the business in America, who asked me to first obviously get an agent ...
Aishwarya Rai
[on the Cannes Film Festival] My idea of hell. You see all the people you thought were dead and all the people who deserve to be dead. After a while, you start to think you might be dead, too.
Dirk Bogarde
I look at how Keira Knightley is coiffed when she attends events. I remember going to Cannes with Much Ado About Nothing (1993) when I was 18, and nobody told me, `Oh, here`s a make-up artist or, `This person wants to dress you, what clothes are you weari...
Kate Beckinsale
On horror: "I don`t take stuff seriously. I saw `Hellraiser 3` the other day at Cannes; it`s OK, it`s a good film, I didn`t hate it or anything. I thought it was quite good, but it was all just so serious. Some guy walking round with pins sticking out of ...
Peter Jackson
Speaking at the 2004 Cannes Film Festival about filmmaker Michael Moore: "Post-war filmmakers gave us the documentary, Rob Reiner gave us the mockumentary and Moore initiated a third genre, the crockumentary."
Jean-Luc Godard
The film`s success so far involves winning a couple of prizes at Cannes and Sundance, and getting some very nice reviews in newspapers and magazines. That hasn`t had a big impact on my life yet.
Harvey Pekar
I`ve been delighted by Cannes and Toronto but I keep saying I don`t know how good we`re going to be received in America because that`s where it`s most challenging.
