More quotes by Alfred Hitchcock
San Francisco would be a good location for a murder mystery.
Alfred Hitchcock
Some of our most exquisite murders have been domestic, performed with tenderness in simple, homey places like the kitchen table.
Alfred Hitchcock
The only way to get rid of my fears is to make films about them.
Alfred Hitchcock
It seems to me that television is exactly like a gun. Your enjoyment of it is determined by which end of it you're on.
Alfred Hitchcock
The ideal husband understands every word his wife doesn't say.
Alfred Hitchcock
The Birds could be the most terrifying motion picture I have ever made.
Alfred Hitchcock
If I won't be myself, who will?
Alfred Hitchcock
Revenge is sweet and not fattening.
Alfred Hitchcock
Television is like the American toaster, you push the button and the same thing pops up everytime.
Alfred Hitchcock
Television has done much for psychiatry by spreading information about it, as well as contributing to the need for it.
Alfred Hitchcock
I've become a body of films, not a man, I am all those films.
Alfred Hitchcock
A woman of mystery is one who also has a certain maturity and whose actions speak louder than words. Any woman can be one, if she keeps those two points in mind. She should grow up-and shut up.
Alfred Hitchcock
The picture's over. Now I have to go and put it on film.
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
For me, suspense doesn't have any value if it's not balanced by humor.
Alfred Hitchcock
I always take the audience into account.
Alfred Hitchcock
All love scenes started on the set are continued in the dressing room.
Alfred Hitchcock
In feature films the director is God in documentary films God is the director.
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
I'm frightened of eggs, worse than frightened, they revolt me.
Alfred Hitchcock
