More quotes by Alfred Hitchcock
Give them pleasure - the same pleasure they have when they wake up from a nightmare.
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
The ideal husband understands every word his wife doesn't say.
Alfred Hitchcock
Even my failures make money and become classics a year after I make them.
Alfred Hitchcock
Mystery is an intellectual process... But suspense is essentially an emotional process.
Alfred Hitchcock
Dialogue should simply be a sound among other sounds, just something that comes out of the mouths of people whose eyes tell the story in visual terms.
Alfred Hitchcock
You think she's pretty, you ought to see my slingshot!
Alfred Hitchcock
I’ve never been very keen on women who hang their sex round their neck like baubles. I think it should be discovered. It’s more interesting to discover the sex in a woman than it is to have it thrown at you, like a Marilyn Monroe or those types. To me they are rather vulgar and obvious.
Alfred Hitchcock
Self-plagiarism is style.
Alfred Hitchcock
In reference to the murder scene in 'Dial M for murder' As you have seen on the screen the best way to do it is with a scissor.
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
I'm frightened of eggs, worse than frightened, they revolt me.
Alfred Hitchcock
Always make the audience suffer as much as possible.
Alfred Hitchcock
I can't read fiction without visualizing every scene. The result is it becomes a series of pictures rather than a book.
Alfred Hitchcock
Everything's perverted in a different way.
Alfred Hitchcock
To me Psycho was a big comedy. Had to be.
Alfred Hitchcock
All love scenes started on the set are continued in the dressing room.
Alfred Hitchcock
Luck is everything... My good luck in life was to be a really frightened person. I'm fortunate to be a coward, to have a low threshold of fear, because a hero couldn't make a good suspense film.
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
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
