The silent pictures were the purest form of cinema
Alfred Hitchcock

Really, the novelist has the best casting since he doesn't have to cope with the actors and all the rest. -Alfred Hitchcock

Drama is life with the dull bits cut out.
Alfred Hitchcock
Image
Mystery is an intellectual process... But suspense is essentially an emotional process.

Ideas come from everything

I enjoy playing the audience like a piano.
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

To me Psycho was a big comedy. Had to be.
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.

The paperback is very interesting but I find it will never replace the hardcover book - it makes a very poor doorstop.
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.

Seeing a murder on television can help us unload the feelings of hate themselves. If you do not have feelings of hatred, may be obtained in the advertising interval.
Alfred Hitchcock
Image
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
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.

Give them pleasure - the same pleasure they have when they wake up from a nightmare.
Alfred Hitchcock

I was an uncommonly unattractive young man.
Alfred Hitchcock
Image
I'm a writer and, therefore, automatically a suspicious character.
Alfred Hitchcock
Image
Our primary function is to create an emotion and our secondary function is to sustain that emotions.
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.

Some of our most exquisite murders have been domestic, performed with tenderness in simple, homey places like the kitchen table.
