More quotes by Alfred Hitchcock
The picture's over. Now I have to go and put it on film.
Alfred Hitchcock
Conversation is the enemy of good wine and food.
Alfred Hitchcock
Drama is life with the dull bits cut out.
Alfred Hitchcock
I'm a writer and, therefore, automatically a suspicious character.
Alfred Hitchcock
For me, the cinema is not a slice of life, but a piece of cake.
Alfred Hitchcock
I am a typed director. If I made Cinderella, the audience would immediately be looking for a body in the coach.
Alfred Hitchcock
In feature films the director is God in documentary films God is the director.
Alfred Hitchcock
Mystery is an intellectual process... But suspense is essentially an emotional process.
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
In films murders are always very clean. I show how difficult it is and what a messy thing it is to kill a man.
Alfred Hitchcock
If it's a good movie, the sound could go off and the audience would still have a perfectly clear idea of what was going on.
Alfred Hitchcock
You think she's pretty, you ought to see my slingshot!
Alfred Hitchcock
Reality is something that none of us can stand, at any time.
Alfred Hitchcock
Television has brought back murder into the home - where it belongs.
Alfred Hitchcock
I'm full of fears and I do my best to avoid difficulties and any kind of complications. I like everything around me to be clear as crystal and completely calm.
Alfred Hitchcock
Always make the audience suffer as much as possible.
Alfred Hitchcock
Happiness is a small house, with a big kitchen.
Alfred Hitchcock
A glimpse into the world proves that horror is nothing other than reality.
Alfred Hitchcock
To make a great film you need three things - the script, the script and the script.
Alfred Hitchcock
When we think we have been hurt by someone in the past, we build up defenses to protect ourselves from being hurt in the future. So the fearful past causes a fearful future and the past and future become one.
Alfred Hitchcock
