Ricky Gervais

The people who are putting this festival on love television, and I love television! And it's coming from a global perspective as well, and I think that's great.

Chuck Lorre

It's an incredible energy up here. I have never seen a more beautiful place. You really don't want to be indoors at all, but the energy inside is just as exciting.
