Alfred Hitchcock
I have a perfect cure for a sore throat: cut it.
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
To make a great film you need three things - the script, the script and the script.
Alfred Hitchcock
I've become a body of films, not a man, I am all those films.
Alfred Hitchcock
Television is like the American toaster, you push the button and the same thing pops up everytime.
