More quotes by Alfred Hitchcock
When you can look forward, and the road is clear ahead, and now you are going to create something - that's as happy as I'd want to be.
Alfred Hitchcock
There is something more important than logic: imagination
Alfred Hitchcock
Even my failures make money and become classics a year after I make them.
Alfred Hitchcock
Blondes make the best victims. They're like virgin snow that shows up the bloody footprints.
Alfred Hitchcock
Revenge is sweet and not fattening.
Alfred Hitchcock
I am a typed director. If I made Cinderella, the audience would immediately be looking for a body in the coach.
Alfred Hitchcock
The Birds could be the most terrifying motion picture I have ever made.
Alfred Hitchcock
This weapon [an ax] is primitive but effective. And it's also guaranteed to be fifty-percent painless. You see, it takes two people to operate, and the person at this end [the handle] doesn't feel a thing.
Alfred Hitchcock
The more successful the villain, the more successful the picture.
Alfred Hitchcock
When an actor comes to me and wants to discuss his character, I say, 'It's in the script.' If he says, 'But what's my motivation?, ' I say, 'Your salary.'
Alfred Hitchcock
I enjoy playing the audience like a piano.
Alfred Hitchcock
There is nothing so good as a burial at sea. It is simple, tidy, and not very incriminating.
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
Television has done much for psychiatry by spreading information about it, as well as contributing to the need for it.
Alfred Hitchcock
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.
Alfred Hitchcock
You think she's pretty, you ought to see my slingshot!
Alfred Hitchcock
If it's a good movie, the sound could go off and the audience would still have a perfectly clear idea of what was going on.
Alfred Hitchcock
Making a film means, first of all, to tell a story. That story can be an improbable one, but it should never be banal. It must be dramatic and human. What is drama, after all, but life with the dull bits cut out?
Alfred Hitchcock
I'm not much into rear window ethics.
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. What frightens us today is exactly the same sort of thing that frightened us yesterday. It's just a different wolf. This fright complex is rooted in every individual.
Alfred Hitchcock
