More quotes by Alfred Hitchcock
Give them pleasure - the same pleasure they have when they wake up from a nightmare.
Alfred Hitchcock
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.
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
Conversation is the enemy of good wine and food.
Alfred Hitchcock

Alfred Hitchcock
I always take the audience into account.
Alfred Hitchcock

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
Disney has the best casting. If he doesn't like an actor he just tears him up.
Alfred Hitchcock
I have a feeling that inside you somewhere,there's somebody nobody knows about
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
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
To make a great film you need three things - the script, the script and the script.
Alfred Hitchcock
That is the most frightening sight I have ever seen.
Alfred Hitchcock
For me, suspense doesn't have any value if it's not balanced by humor.
Alfred Hitchcock
