More quotes by Alfred Hitchcock
In a good marriage each is the others better half.
Alfred Hitchcock
The more successful the villain, the more successful the picture.
Alfred Hitchcock
It's only a movie, and, after all, we're all grossly overpaid.
Alfred Hitchcock

Alfred Hitchcock
Self-plagiarism is style.
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
Reality is something that none of us can stand, at any time.
Alfred Hitchcock

Alfred Hitchcock
Actually, I have no regard for money. Aside from its purchasing power, it's completely useless as far as I'm concerned.
Alfred Hitchcock
In feature films the director is God in documentary films God is the director.
Alfred Hitchcock
Someone once told me that every minute a murder occurs, so I don't want to waste your time, I know you want to go back to work.

Alfred Hitchcock
Drama is life with the dull bits cut out.
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
