Having my film premiere in Cannes has always been the ultimate dream for me. It is a combination of the elegance of the festival, the setting and the quality of films that premiere there.

Camila Morrone

I like doing the promotional work. It's part of the film's process. Cannes was very wonderful to premiere.

Nicolas Winding Refn

It can be a little nerve-wracking sometimes feeling like I have to do more than I really do.

Eddy Alvarez

I was asked to go to Cannes to present Amores Perros. And little did I know that this film would be huge. I saw it for the first time in Cannes, and it was the first time I'd seen myself on such a big screen. And it had a huge impact on me - it was the strangest feeling.

Gael Garcia Bernal

It was nerve-wracking [to unleash 'Life of Pi' to the world]. The first show to the journalists, that was the first one, so I was very uptight. Then I felt okay about the reception because we did a press conference with good and friendly questions, although people looked serious. So really, after the show you went to - the premiere - that reception tells me I think the movie worked, so that was a relief. I started to feel deflated.

Ang Lee

It was too nerve-wracking, a shocking spectacle, like seeing an old, calm friend go insane.

John Steinbeck

I have an unfortunate compulsion. I really would rather not do it, as it is very nerve-wracking and un-fun. But when it works, there is nothing like it.

John Hodgman

Working with new people can be really hard and nerve-wracking. When you don't know the person, it's like being on a blind date.

Julia Michaels

Luckily, one of the perks of being an Angel is that I don't have to go to casting. It's so nerve-wracking - even the girls who have been in the show year after year still get nervous. The show is seen around the world, so it's a huge honor to be selected.
