I was an adult and I was in the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. I was performing in this cave - they used to bury the plague victims in these caves underneath the streets of Edinburgh, when I got this weird cold sensation up my spine, it gave me this really weird feeling, and then I looked up and there was this white, sudden white shape, that just zapped from me and went straight to the light that was at the back of the room, and I just stopped cold and said to the audience, "Did you guys see that?" No one saw it.

Rhys Darby

I like the Edinburgh Film Festival, and I've liked what I've experienced of Glasgow's Film Festival too.

Aidan Gillen

....oysters are the only food that never causes indigestion. Indeed, a man would have to eat sixteen dozen of these acephalous molluscs in order to gain the 315 grammes of nitrogen he requires daily.

Jules Verne

Eat lots of fresh vegetables, drink water, exercise often, and meditate daily.

Gretchen Bleiler

I really like oysters, and I won't eat them alone. They're just a weird thing to eat by yourself.

Katie Aselton

I live in a small village on the Norfolk coast, far from the Edinburgh festival.

Alex Horne

I eat a lot. I probably eat more than anybody that I know. I'll go on set and get a plate of bacon, a bagel, an omelet, boiled eggs, fresh fruit, oatmeal, fresh juice, potatoes, basically anything that's there. I don't mean that I alternate between these things. I'll eat all of this for breakfast.

Samira Wiley

When I do the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, I always go across to Loch Ness and stay there.

Rhys Darby

I used to think that the image of the press in the 1940s - a bunch of guys in hats screaming on the courthouse steps - was all baloney. I used to say, 'I know reporters. We're not like that.' But we are.

Richard Ben Cramer

I was acting before I was modelling, when I was very young, doing the Edinburgh Festival and that sort of stuff.

Pollyanna McIntosh

People used to complain that selling a president was like selling a bar of soap. But when you buy soap, at least you get the soap. In this campaign you just get two guys telling you they really value cleanliness.

I do voiceovers, but being on-camera and selling something? I wasn't really interested. And then I thought, well, wait a minute. Everybody's selling something. When you turn on the tube... And then if you go to Europe or Asia, everyone is selling something. All the guys that don't want to be seen selling something here are selling something there. So I thought what the hell?

John Slattery

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.

Dexter Fletcher

I do get recognized, but I must say Edinburgh is a fantastic city to live if you're well-known. There is an innate respect for privacy in Edinburgh people, and I also think they're used to seeing me walking around, so I don't think I'm a very big deal.

J. K. Rowling

As a young actor, there's a very small group of kids, just a handful. As you get older, all of a sudden, there's a bunch of guys your age that work. It's a very different experience when you used to be on the short list because you were young and there's only so many kids that can do the work and then all of a sudden you're in your twenties and thirties and there's a whole bunch of guys that can do your work.
