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.

Drama is real life with all the boring parts cut out.
Alfred Hitchcock

I'm sure anyone who likes a good crime, provided it is not the victim.

Always make the audience suffer as much as possible.

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
Image
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.

Mystery is an intellectual process... But suspense is essentially an emotional process.

Television has brought back murder into the home - where it belongs.
