Drama is life with the dull bits cut out.
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
Image
Drama is real life with all the boring parts cut out.
Alfred Hitchcock
Image
I would almost say that the best screen actor is the man who can do nothing extremely well.
Alfred Hitchcock
Image
I've become a body of films, not a man, I am all those films.
Alfred Hitchcock
Image
I always take the audience into account.
Alfred Hitchcock
Image
The only way to get rid of my fears is to make films about them.
Alfred Hitchcock
Image
Blondes make the best victims. They're like virgin snow that shows up the bloody footprints.
Alfred Hitchcock
Image
In films murders are always very clean. I show how difficult it is and what a messy thing it is to kill a man.

Image
There is no terror in the bang, only in the anticipation of it.
Alfred Hitchcock

The more successful the villain, the more successful the picture.

Luck is everything... My good luck in life was to be a really frightened person. I'm fortunate to be a coward, to have a low threshold of fear, because a hero couldn't make a good suspense film.

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
Image
I’ve never been very keen on women who hang their sex round their neck like baubles. I think it should be discovered. It’s more interesting to discover the sex in a woman than it is to have it thrown at you, like a Marilyn Monroe or those types. To me they are rather vulgar and obvious.
Alfred Hitchcock
Image
Always make the audience suffer as much as possible.
Alfred Hitchcock
Image
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.

Our original title, you know, was `The Man in Lincoln`s Nose`. Couldn`t use it, though. They also wouldn`t let us shoot people on Mount Rushmore. Can`t deface a national monument. And it`s a pity, too, because I had a wonde.
Alfred Hitchcock

Revenge is sweet and not fattening.
Alfred Hitchcock
Image
One must never set up a murder. They must happen unexpectedly, as in life.
Alfred Hitchcock

The length of a film should be directly related to the endurance of the human bladder.
