More quotes by Alfred Hitchcock
Everything's perverted in a different way.
Alfred Hitchcock

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
I never said all actors are cattle what I said was all actors should be treated like cattle.
Alfred Hitchcock
People don't always express their inner thoughts to one another a conversation may be quite trivial, but often the eyes will reveal what a person really thinks or feels.
Alfred Hitchcock
One must never set up a murder. They must happen unexpectedly, as in life.
Alfred Hitchcock
The ideal husband understands every word his wife doesn't say.

Alfred Hitchcock

Alfred Hitchcock
That is the most frightening sight I have ever seen.
Alfred Hitchcock
The paperback is very interesting but I find it will never replace the hardcover book - it makes a very poor doorstop.
Alfred Hitchcock
Really, the novelist has the best casting since he doesn't have to cope with the actors and all the rest. -Alfred Hitchcock
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
To make a great film you need three things - the script, the script and the script.
Alfred Hitchcock
You think she's pretty, you ought to see my slingshot!
