More quotes by Alfred Hitchcock
The silent pictures were the purest form of cinema
Alfred Hitchcock
Our original title, you know, was `The Man in Lincoln`s Nose`. Couldn`t use it, though. They also wouldn`t let us shoot people on Mount Rushmore. Can`t deface a national monument. And it`s a pity, too, because I had a wonde.
Alfred Hitchcock
A good film is when the price of the dinner, the theatre admission and the babysitter were worth it.
Alfred Hitchcock
Television has brought back murder into the home - where it belongs.
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
Someone once told me that every minute a murder occurs, so I don't want to waste your time, I know you want to go back to work.
Alfred Hitchcock
I've become a body of films, not a man, I am all those films.
Alfred Hitchcock
One must never set up a murder. They must happen unexpectedly, as in life.
Alfred Hitchcock
I'm frightened of eggs, worse than frightened, they revolt me.
Alfred Hitchcock
Man does not live by murder alone. He needs affection, approval, encouragement and, occasionally, a hearty meal.
Alfred Hitchcock
Some of our most exquisite murders have been domestic, performed with tenderness in simple, homey places like the kitchen table.
Alfred Hitchcock
There are several differences between a footballl game and a revolution. For one thing, a football game usually lasts longer and the participants wear uniforms. Also there are more injuries at a football game.
Alfred Hitchcock
A woman, I always say, should be like a good suspense movie: The more left to the imagination, the more excitement there is. This should be her aim - to create suspense, to let a man discover things about her without her having to tell him.
Alfred Hitchcock
Reality is something that none of us can stand, at any time.
Alfred Hitchcock
There is no terror in the bang, only in the anticipation of it.
Alfred Hitchcock
I try to offset any tendency towards the macabre with humour. As I see it, this is a typically English form of humour. It's a piece with such jokes as the one about the man who was being led to the gallows to be hanged. He looked at the trap door in the gallows, which was flimsily constructed, and he asked in some alarm, 'I say, is that thing safe?
Alfred Hitchcock
A movie should be as long as one can hold their bladder
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
Luck is everything... My good luck in life was to be a really frightened person. I'm fortunate to be a coward, to have a low threshold of fear, because a hero couldn't make a good suspense film.
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
