More quotes by Alfred Hitchcock
The length of a film should be directly related to the endurance of the human bladder.
Alfred Hitchcock
San Francisco would be a good location for a murder mystery.
Alfred Hitchcock
Our original title, you know, was `The Man in Lincoln`s Nose`. Couldn`t use it, though. They also wouldn`t let us shoot people on Mount Rushmore. Can`t deface a national monument. And it`s a pity, too, because I had a wonde.
Alfred Hitchcock
The only way to get rid of my fears is to make films about them.
Alfred Hitchcock
One must never set up a murder. They must happen unexpectedly, as in life.
Alfred Hitchcock
One never knows the ending. One has to die to know exactly what happens after death, although Catholics have their hopes.
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
A glimpse into the world proves that horror is nothing other than reality.
Alfred Hitchcock
Puns are the highest form of literature.
Alfred Hitchcock
Never judge a country by its politicians.
Alfred Hitchcock
Kicking is very important in football. In fact, some of the more enthusiastic players even kick the ball, occasionally.
Alfred Hitchcock
The Birds could be the most terrifying motion picture I have ever made.
Alfred Hitchcock
The paperback is very interesting but I find it will never replace the hardcover book - it makes a very poor doorstop.
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
Self-plagiarism is style.
Alfred Hitchcock
A woman, I always say, should be like a good suspense movie: The more left to the imagination, the more excitement there is. This should be her aim - to create suspense, to let a man discover things about her without her having to tell him.
Alfred Hitchcock
Never turn your back on a friend.
Alfred Hitchcock
I'm a writer and, therefore, automatically a suspicious character.
Alfred Hitchcock
For me, suspense doesn't have any value if it's not balanced by humor.
Alfred Hitchcock
I have a feeling that inside you somewhere,there's somebody nobody knows about
