More quotes by Alfred Hitchcock
The picture's over. Now I have to go and put it on film.
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
Actually, I have no regard for money. Aside from its purchasing power, it's completely useless as far as I'm concerned.
Alfred Hitchcock
I’ve never been very keen on women who hang their sex round their neck like baubles. I think it should be discovered. It’s more interesting to discover the sex in a woman than it is to have it thrown at you, like a Marilyn Monroe or those types. To me they are rather vulgar and obvious.
Alfred Hitchcock

Alfred Hitchcock
I would almost say that the best screen actor is the man who can do nothing extremely well.
Alfred Hitchcock
For me, suspense doesn't have any value if it's not balanced by humor.
Alfred Hitchcock
I'm not much into rear window ethics.
Alfred Hitchcock
Happiness is a small house, with a big kitchen.
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
That is the most frightening sight I have ever seen.
Alfred Hitchcock
One must never set up a murder. They must happen unexpectedly, as in life.
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
In reference to the murder scene in 'Dial M for murder' As you have seen on the screen the best way to do it is with a scissor.
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
I can't read fiction without visualizing every scene. The result is it becomes a series of pictures rather than a book.
Alfred Hitchcock
Always make the audience suffer as much as possible.
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
