More quotes by 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
I'm sure anyone who likes a good crime, provided it is not the victim.
Alfred Hitchcock
The silent pictures were the purest form of cinema
Alfred Hitchcock
Never turn your back on a friend.
Alfred Hitchcock
Self-plagiarism is style.
Alfred Hitchcock
I would almost say that the best screen actor is the man who can do nothing extremely well.
Alfred Hitchcock
Blondes make the best victims. They're like virgin snow that shows up the bloody footprints.
Alfred Hitchcock
Seeing a murder on television can help work off one's antagonisms. And if you haven't any antagonisms, the commercials will give you some.
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
Television is like the invention of indoor plumbing. It didn't change people's habits. It just kept them inside the house.
Alfred Hitchcock
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
Even my failures make money and become classics a year after I make them.
Alfred Hitchcock
Seeing a murder on television can help us unload the feelings of hate themselves. If you do not have feelings of hatred, may be obtained in the advertising interval.
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
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
A woman of mystery is one who also has a certain maturity and whose actions speak louder than words. Any woman can be one, if she keeps those two points in mind. She should grow up-and shut up.
Alfred Hitchcock
Puns are the highest form of literature.
Alfred Hitchcock
I have a perfect cure for a sore throat: cut it.
Alfred Hitchcock
Never judge a country by its politicians.
Alfred Hitchcock
I'm a writer and, therefore, automatically a suspicious character.
Alfred Hitchcock
