More quotes by Alfred Hitchcock
The Birds could be the most terrifying motion picture I have ever made.
Alfred Hitchcock
The silent pictures were the purest form of cinema
Alfred Hitchcock
Revenge is sweet and not fattening.
Alfred Hitchcock
Seeing a murder on television can help us unload the feelings of hate themselves. If you do not have feelings of hatred, may be obtained in the advertising interval.
Alfred Hitchcock
A woman of mystery is one who also has a certain maturity and whose actions speak louder than words. Any woman can be one, if she keeps those two points in mind. She should grow up-and shut up.
Alfred Hitchcock
San Francisco would be a good location for a murder mystery.
Alfred Hitchcock
Seeing a murder on television can help work off one's antagonisms. And if you haven't any antagonisms, the commercials will give you some.
Alfred Hitchcock
Mystery is an intellectual process... But suspense is essentially an emotional process.
Alfred Hitchcock
I'm a writer and, therefore, automatically a suspicious character.
Alfred Hitchcock

Alfred Hitchcock
Man does not live by murder alone. He needs affection, approval, encouragement and, occasionally, a hearty meal.
Alfred Hitchcock

Alfred Hitchcock

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
Ideas come from everything
Alfred Hitchcock
Self-plagiarism is style.
Alfred Hitchcock
Suspense is like a woman. The more left to the imagination, the more the excitement.
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
I enjoy playing the audience like a piano.
Alfred Hitchcock
I was an uncommonly unattractive young man.
Alfred Hitchcock
