More quotes by Alfred Hitchcock
Puns are the highest form of literature.
Alfred Hitchcock

Alfred Hitchcock

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
Television is like the American toaster, you push the button and the same thing pops up everytime.
Alfred Hitchcock
Conversation is the enemy of good wine and food.
Alfred Hitchcock
Ideas come from everything
Alfred Hitchcock
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
Revenge is sweet and not fattening.
Alfred Hitchcock
A lot of movies are about life, mine are like a slice of cake.
Alfred Hitchcock
There is no terror in the bang, only in the anticipation of it.
Alfred Hitchcock
