More quotes by Alfred Hitchcock
Television is like the American toaster, you push the button and the same thing pops up everytime.
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

Alfred Hitchcock
You think she's pretty, you ought to see my slingshot!
Alfred Hitchcock

Alfred Hitchcock
Television has done much for psychiatry by spreading information about it, as well as contributing to the need for it.
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
Fear isn't so difficult to understand. After all, weren't we all frightened as children? Nothing has changed since Little Red Riding Hood faced the big bad wolf. What frightens us today is exactly the same sort of thing that frightened us yesterday. It's just a different wolf. This fright complex is rooted in every individual.
Alfred Hitchcock
The more successful the villain, the more successful the picture.
Alfred Hitchcock
The length of a film should be directly related to the endurance of the human bladder.
Alfred Hitchcock

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
Never turn your back on a friend.
Alfred Hitchcock
I enjoy playing the audience like a piano.
Alfred Hitchcock
Kicking is very important in football. In fact, some of the more enthusiastic players even kick the ball, occasionally.
Alfred Hitchcock
For me, the cinema is not a slice of life, but a piece of cake.
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
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
Even my failures make money and become classics a year after I make them.
Alfred Hitchcock
