The more successful the villain, the more successful the picture.
Alfred Hitchcock
Image
Some of our most exquisite murders have been domestic, performed with tenderness in simple, homey places like the kitchen table.
Alfred Hitchcock
Image
This weapon [an ax] is primitive but effective. And it's also guaranteed to be fifty-percent painless. You see, it takes two people to operate, and the person at this end [the handle] doesn't feel a thing.
Alfred Hitchcock
Image
Television is like the American toaster, you push the button and the same thing pops up everytime.
Alfred Hitchcock
Image

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
Image
Film your murders like love scenes, and film your love scenes like murders.
Alfred Hitchcock
Image
Actually, I have no regard for money. Aside from its purchasing power, it's completely useless as far as I'm concerned.
Alfred Hitchcock
Image
I enjoy playing the audience like a piano.
Alfred Hitchcock
Image
Give them pleasure - the same pleasure they have when they wake up from a nightmare.
Alfred Hitchcock
Image
Conversation is the enemy of good wine and food.
Alfred Hitchcock
Image
Man does not live by murder alone. He needs affection, approval, encouragement and, occasionally, a hearty meal.
Alfred Hitchcock
Image
I have a perfect cure for a sore throat: cut it.
Alfred Hitchcock
Image
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.
