More quotes by Alfred Hitchcock
Ideas come from everything
Alfred Hitchcock

Alfred Hitchcock
Self-plagiarism is style.
Alfred Hitchcock
Drama is life with the dull bits cut out.
Alfred Hitchcock
I am a typed director. If I made Cinderella, the audience would immediately be looking for a body in the coach.

I'm a writer and, therefore, automatically a suspicious character.
Alfred Hitchcock
