Television is like the invention of indoor plumbing. It didn't change people's habits. It just kept them inside the house.

More quotes by Alfred Hitchcock
I like stories with lots of psychology.
Alfred Hitchcock
The only way to get rid of my fears is to make films about them.
Alfred Hitchcock
Blondes make the best victims. They're like virgin snow that shows up the bloody footprints.
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
The Birds could be the most terrifying motion picture I have ever made.
Alfred Hitchcock
A glimpse into the world proves that horror is nothing other than reality.
Alfred Hitchcock
In films murders are always very clean. I show how difficult it is and what a messy thing it is to kill a man.
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
Suspense is like a woman. The more left to the imagination, the more the excitement.
Alfred Hitchcock
I'm not much into rear window ethics.
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
Someone once told me that every minute a murder occurs, so I don't want to waste your time, I know you want to go back to work.
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 always try to look at things as though I were remembering them three years later.
Alfred Hitchcock
There is nothing to winning, really. That is, if you happen to be blessed with a keen eye, an agile mind, and no scruples whatsoever.
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
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
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 good film is when the price of the dinner, the theatre admission and the babysitter were worth it.
Alfred Hitchcock
A lot of movies are about life, mine are like a slice of cake.
Alfred Hitchcock
