I can't read fiction without visualizing every scene. The result is it becomes a series of pictures rather than a book.
Alfred Hitchcock
Image
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.

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.

Claude Jade is a brave nice young lady. But I don't give any guarantee what she will do on a taxi's back seat.
Alfred Hitchcock
Image
One never knows the ending. One has to die to know exactly what happens after death, although Catholics have their hopes.
Alfred Hitchcock
Image
Our primary function is to create an emotion and our secondary function is to sustain that emotions.
Alfred Hitchcock

I am to provide the public with beneficial shocks.
Alfred Hitchcock

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

San Francisco would be a good location for a murder mystery.
Alfred Hitchcock
Image
Actually, I have no regard for money. Aside from its purchasing power, it's completely useless as far as I'm concerned.
Alfred Hitchcock
Image
I'm sure anyone who likes a good crime, provided it is not the victim.
Alfred Hitchcock

It's only a movie, and, after all, we're all grossly overpaid.
