There are several differences between a footballl game and a revolution. For one thing, a football game usually lasts longer and the participants wear uniforms. Also there are more injuries at a football game.

More quotes by 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
In a good marriage each is the others better half.
Alfred Hitchcock
Puns are the highest form of literature.
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
When we think we have been hurt by someone in the past, we build up defenses to protect ourselves from being hurt in the future. So the fearful past causes a fearful future and the past and future become one.
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
The more successful the villain, the more successful the picture.
Alfred Hitchcock
Disney has the best casting. If he doesn't like an actor he just tears him up.

There is no terror in the bang, only in the anticipation of it.

Drama is life with the dull bits cut out.
Alfred Hitchcock
There is nothing to winning, really. That is, if you happen to be blessed with a keen eye, an agile mind, and no scruples whatsoever.
Alfred Hitchcock
Television has done much for psychiatry by spreading information about it, as well as contributing to the need for it.
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.
Alfred Hitchcock
Self-plagiarism is style.
Alfred Hitchcock
I would almost say that the best screen actor is the man who can do nothing extremely well.
Alfred Hitchcock
I try to offset any tendency towards the macabre with humour. As I see it, this is a typically English form of humour. It's a piece with such jokes as the one about the man who was being led to the gallows to be hanged. He looked at the trap door in the gallows, which was flimsily constructed, and he asked in some alarm, 'I say, is that thing safe?
Alfred Hitchcock
I enjoy playing the audience like a piano.
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
Seeing a murder on television can help work off one's antagonisms. And if you haven't any antagonisms, the commercials will give you some.
Alfred Hitchcock
There is something more important than logic: imagination
