More quotes by Alfred Hitchcock
These are bagpipes. I understand the inventor of the bagpipes was inspired when he saw a man carrying an indignant, asthmatic pig under his arm. Unfortunately, the man-made sound never equalled the purity of the sound achieved by the pig.
Alfred Hitchcock
In the documentary the basic material has been created by God, whereas in the fiction film the director is a God he must create life.
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 can't read fiction without visualizing every scene. The result is it becomes a series of pictures rather than a book.
Alfred Hitchcock
Even my failures make money and become classics a year after I make them.
Alfred Hitchcock
To make a great film you need three things - the script, the script and the script.
Alfred Hitchcock
This award is meaningful because it comes from my fellow dealers in celluloid.
Alfred Hitchcock
If it's a good movie, the sound could go off and the audience would still have a perfectly clear idea of what was going on.
Alfred Hitchcock
Never turn your back on a friend.
Alfred Hitchcock
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
All love scenes started on the set are continued in the dressing room.
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
I never said all actors are cattle what I said was all actors should be treated like cattle.
Alfred Hitchcock
I'm frightened of eggs, worse than frightened, they revolt me.
Alfred Hitchcock
Our primary function is to create an emotion and our secondary function is to sustain that emotions.
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
In a good marriage each is the others better half.
Alfred Hitchcock
A woman who spends all day washing and cooking and ironing doesn't want to go to the movies to watch a film about a woman who spends all day washing and cooking and ironing.
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
Television has done much for psychiatry by spreading information about it, as well as contributing to the need for it.
