Alfred Hitchcock
Mystery is an intellectual process... But suspense is essentially an emotional process.
Alfred Hitchcock
I've become a body of films, not a man, I am all those films.
Alfred Hitchcock
Making a film means, first of all, to tell a story. That story can be an improbable one, but it should never be banal. It must be dramatic and human. What is drama, after all, but life with the dull bits cut out?
Alfred Hitchcock
The silent pictures were the purest form of cinema
