More quotes by 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
I never said all actors are cattle what I said was all actors should be treated like cattle.
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.

Alfred Hitchcock
I always try to look at things as though I were remembering them three years later.
Alfred Hitchcock
It has been rumored that Psycho is so terrifying that it will scare some people speechless. Some of my men hopefully sent their wives to a screening. The women emerged badly shaken but still vigorously vocal.
Alfred Hitchcock
Never turn your back on a friend.
Alfred Hitchcock
Film your murders like love scenes, and film your love scenes like murders.
Alfred Hitchcock
Television is like the American toaster, you push the button and the same thing pops up everytime.
Alfred Hitchcock
I have a perfect cure for a sore throat: cut it.
Alfred Hitchcock
Man does not live by murder alone. He needs affection, approval, encouragement and, occasionally, a hearty meal.
Alfred Hitchcock
Self-plagiarism is style.
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.
