There is nothing so good as a burial at sea. It is simple, tidy, and not very incriminating.
Alfred Hitchcock
Image
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.

The Birds could be the most terrifying motion picture I have ever made.
Alfred Hitchcock

Revenge is sweet and not fattening.

The paperback is very interesting but I find it will never replace the hardcover book - it makes a very poor doorstop.

Never judge a country by its politicians.

There is no terror in the bang, only in the anticipation of it.

I'm a writer and, therefore, automatically a suspicious character.
