You think she's pretty, you ought to see my slingshot!
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.

Claude Jade is a brave nice young lady. But I don't give any guarantee what she will do on a taxi's back seat.

Television has done much for psychiatry by spreading information about it, as well as contributing to the need for it.
Alfred Hitchcock
Image
People don't always express their inner thoughts to one another a conversation may be quite trivial, but often the eyes will reveal what a person really thinks or feels.
Alfred Hitchcock
Image
There is no terror in the bang, only in the anticipation of it.
Alfred Hitchcock
Image
In the old days villains had moustaches and kicked the dog. Audiences are smarter today. They don't want their villain to be thrown at them with green limelight on his face. They want an ordinary human being with failings.
Alfred Hitchcock
Image
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.

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
Image
Television is like the American toaster, you push the button and the same thing pops up everytime.
Alfred Hitchcock

The only way to get rid of my fears is to make films about them.

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
Image
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

If I won't be myself, who will?

The Birds could be the most terrifying motion picture I have ever made.

I've become a body of films, not a man, I am all those films.
