More quotes by Alfred Hitchcock
I am to provide the public with beneficial shocks.
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
Dialogue should simply be a sound among other sounds, just something that comes out of the mouths of people whose eyes tell the story in visual terms.
Alfred Hitchcock
Cary Grant is the only actor I ever loved in my whole life.
Alfred Hitchcock
If I won't be myself, who will?
Alfred Hitchcock
Some of our most exquisite murders have been domestic, performed with tenderness in simple, homey places like the kitchen table.
Alfred Hitchcock
It has been rumored that Psycho is so terrifying that it will scare some people speechless. Some of my men hopefully sent their wives to a screening. The women emerged badly shaken but still vigorously vocal.
Alfred Hitchcock
This award is meaningful because it comes from my fellow dealers in celluloid.
Alfred Hitchcock
Always make the audience suffer as much as possible.
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 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
For me, suspense doesn't have any value if it's not balanced by humor.
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
A good film is when the price of the dinner, the theatre admission and the babysitter were worth it.
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'm not against the police I'm just afraid of them.
Alfred Hitchcock
Self-plagiarism is style.
Alfred Hitchcock
Disney has the best casting. If he doesn't like an actor he just tears him up.
Alfred Hitchcock
Kicking is very important in football. In fact, some of the more enthusiastic players even kick the ball, occasionally.
Alfred Hitchcock
It seems to me that television is exactly like a gun. Your enjoyment of it is determined by which end of it you're on.
Alfred Hitchcock
