More quotes by 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
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
Never judge a country by its politicians.
Alfred Hitchcock
Cary Grant is the only actor I ever loved in my whole life.
Alfred Hitchcock
The length of a film should be directly related to the endurance of the human bladder.
Alfred Hitchcock
Man does not live by murder alone. He needs affection, approval, encouragement and, occasionally, a hearty meal.
Alfred Hitchcock
The picture's over. Now I have to go and put it on film.
Alfred Hitchcock
To make a great film you need three things - the script, the script and the script.
Alfred Hitchcock
I always take the audience into account.
Alfred Hitchcock
I am to provide the public with beneficial shocks.
Alfred Hitchcock
In films murders are always very clean. I show how difficult it is and what a messy thing it is to kill a man.
Alfred Hitchcock
Television is like the American toaster, you push the button and the same thing pops up everytime.
Alfred Hitchcock
Conversation is the enemy of good wine and food.
Alfred Hitchcock
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
Revenge is sweet and not fattening.
Alfred Hitchcock
There is something more important than logic: imagination
Alfred Hitchcock
A woman who spends all day washing and cooking and ironing doesn't want to go to the movies to watch a film about a woman who spends all day washing and cooking and ironing.
Alfred Hitchcock
These are bagpipes. I understand the inventor of the bagpipes was inspired when he saw a man carrying an indignant, asthmatic pig under his arm. Unfortunately, the man-made sound never equalled the purity of the sound achieved by the pig.
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
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
