When we think we have been hurt by someone in the past, we build up defenses to protect ourselves from being hurt in the future. So the fearful past causes a fearful future and the past and future become one.
Alfred Hitchcock
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.
Alfred Hitchcock
I'm not much into rear window ethics.
Alfred Hitchcock

Alfred Hitchcock
A lot of movies are about life, mine are like a slice of cake.
Alfred Hitchcock

Alfred Hitchcock
