More quotes by Alfred Hitchcock
For me, suspense doesn't have any value if it's not balanced by humor.
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
In the old days villains had moustaches and kicked the dog. Audiences are smarter today. They don't want their villain to be thrown at them with green limelight on his face. They want an ordinary human being with failings.
Alfred Hitchcock
For me, the cinema is not a slice of life, but a piece of cake.
Alfred Hitchcock
I always take the audience into account.
Alfred Hitchcock
Give them pleasure - the same pleasure they have when they wake up from a nightmare.
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
I've become a body of films, not a man, I am all those films.
Alfred Hitchcock
To me Psycho was a big comedy. Had to be.
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
I was an uncommonly unattractive young man.
Alfred Hitchcock
If I won't be myself, who will?
Alfred Hitchcock
I'm sure anyone who likes a good crime, provided it is not the victim.
Alfred Hitchcock
Television is like the American toaster, you push the button and the same thing pops up everytime.
Alfred Hitchcock
I never said all actors are cattle what I said was all actors should be treated like cattle.
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
I am to provide the public with beneficial shocks.
Alfred Hitchcock
Happiness is a small house, with a big kitchen.
Alfred Hitchcock
All love scenes started on the set are continued in the dressing room.
Alfred Hitchcock
Our primary function is to create an emotion and our secondary function is to sustain that emotions.
Alfred Hitchcock
