More quotes by Alfred Hitchcock
It's only a movie, and, after all, we're all grossly overpaid.
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
I am scared easily, here is a list of my adrenaline - production: 1: small children, 2: policemen, 3: high places, 4: that my next movie will not be as good as the last one.
Alfred Hitchcock
Suspense is like a woman. The more left to the imagination, the more the excitement.
Alfred Hitchcock
Blondes make the best victims. They're like virgin snow that shows up the bloody footprints.
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
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 who spends all day washing and cooking and ironing doesn't want to go to the movies to watch a film about a woman who spends all day washing and cooking and ironing.
Alfred Hitchcock
I always try to look at things as though I were remembering them three years later.
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
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
I would almost say that the best screen actor is the man who can do nothing extremely well.
Alfred Hitchcock
A movie should be as long as one can hold their bladder
Alfred Hitchcock
When we think we have been hurt by someone in the past, we build up defenses to protect ourselves from being hurt in the future. So the fearful past causes a fearful future and the past and future become one.
Alfred Hitchcock
Drama is real life with all the boring parts cut out.
Alfred Hitchcock
You think she's pretty, you ought to see my slingshot!
Alfred Hitchcock
There is no terror in the bang, only in the anticipation of it.
Alfred Hitchcock
When an actor comes to me and wants to discuss his character, I say, 'It's in the script.' If he says, 'But what's my motivation?, ' I say, 'Your salary.'
Alfred Hitchcock
I never said all actors are cattle what I said was all actors should be treated like cattle.
Alfred Hitchcock
