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

This award is meaningful because it comes from my fellow dealers in celluloid.
Alfred Hitchcock
Image
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

If I won't be myself, who will?
Alfred Hitchcock

Never judge a country by its politicians.
