More quotes by Alfred Hitchcock
I have a perfect cure for a sore throat: cut it.
Alfred Hitchcock

Alfred Hitchcock

Alfred Hitchcock

Alfred Hitchcock

Alfred Hitchcock
Mystery is an intellectual process... But suspense is essentially an emotional process.
Alfred Hitchcock

Alfred Hitchcock
That is the most frightening sight I have ever seen.
Alfred Hitchcock
Happiness is a small house, with a big kitchen.
Alfred Hitchcock
In the old days villains had moustaches and kicked the dog. Audiences are smarter today. They don't want their villain to be thrown at them with green limelight on his face. They want an ordinary human being with failings.
Alfred Hitchcock
