More quotes by Alfred Hitchcock
Fear isn't so difficult to understand. After all, weren't we all frightened as children? Nothing has changed since Little Red Riding Hood faced the big bad wolf.

Disney has the best casting. If he doesn't like an actor he just tears him up.
Alfred Hitchcock
The silent pictures were the purest form of cinema
Alfred Hitchcock

The Birds could be the most terrifying motion picture I have ever made.
Alfred Hitchcock
To make a great film you need three things - the script, the script and the script.
