More quotes by Alfred Hitchcock
Drama is real life with all the boring parts cut out.
Alfred Hitchcock
I am to provide the public with beneficial shocks.
Alfred Hitchcock
This weapon [an ax] is primitive but effective. And it's also guaranteed to be fifty-percent painless. You see, it takes two people to operate, and the person at this end [the handle] doesn't feel a thing.
Alfred Hitchcock
To make a great film you need three things - the script, the script and the script.
Alfred Hitchcock
A glimpse into the world proves that horror is nothing other than reality.
Alfred Hitchcock
It's only a movie, and, after all, we're all grossly overpaid.
Alfred Hitchcock
Drama is life with the dull bits left out. There is no terror in the bang, only in the anticipation of it. I believe in putting the horror in the minds of the audience, and not necessarily on the screen. The length of a film should be directly related to the endurance of the human bladder.
Alfred Hitchcock
These are bagpipes. I understand the inventor of the bagpipes was inspired when he saw a man carrying an indignant, asthmatic pig under his arm. Unfortunately, the man-made sound never equalled the purity of the sound achieved by the pig.
Alfred Hitchcock
People don't always express their inner thoughts to one another a conversation may be quite trivial, but often the eyes will reveal what a person really thinks or feels.
Alfred Hitchcock
A movie should be as long as one can hold their bladder
Alfred Hitchcock
When you can look forward, and the road is clear ahead, and now you are going to create something - that's as happy as I'd want to be.
Alfred Hitchcock
There is nothing to winning, really. That is, if you happen to be blessed with a keen eye, an agile mind, and no scruples whatsoever.
Alfred Hitchcock
That is the most frightening sight I have ever seen.
Alfred Hitchcock
Television has brought back murder into the home - where it belongs.
Alfred Hitchcock
One never knows the ending. One has to die to know exactly what happens after death, although Catholics have their hopes.
Alfred Hitchcock
There is something more important than logic: imagination
Alfred Hitchcock
The ideal husband understands every word his wife doesn't say.
Alfred Hitchcock
Ideas come from everything
Alfred Hitchcock
Some of our most exquisite murders have been domestic, performed with tenderness in simple, homey places like the kitchen table.
Alfred Hitchcock
The silent pictures were the purest form of cinema
Alfred Hitchcock
