This much I know: Avril Stanley

Running festivals is a roller coaster, white-knuckle ride of a job.

It’s not a job, actually, it’s a vocation. You never know what you will be up against — from the forces of nature or the competition — there is nothing secure about this type of work.

I was an outspoken, precocious child. Definitely a rebel. I tried to be good but I was the one who got into trouble without even meaning to — the lid would fly off the bottle of ketchup when I was shaking it, the best gold plate would fall off the wall when I ran into the room.
