Alfred Hitchcock

Alfred Hitchcock
The picture's over. Now I have to go and put it on film.
Alfred Hitchcock
A lot of movies are about life, mine are like a slice of cake.
Alfred Hitchcock
Man does not live by murder alone. He needs affection, approval, encouragement and, occasionally, a hearty meal.
Alfred Hitchcock
To me Psycho was a big comedy. Had to be.
Alfred Hitchcock
A movie should be as long as one can hold their bladder
Alfred Hitchcock
Film your murders like love scenes, and film your love scenes like murders.
