More quotes by Alfred Hitchcock

Alfred Hitchcock
I like stories with lots of psychology.
Alfred Hitchcock

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

Alfred Hitchcock
There is nothing so good as a burial at sea. It is simple, tidy, and not very incriminating.
Alfred Hitchcock

For me, the cinema is not a slice of life, but a piece of cake.
Alfred Hitchcock
A movie should be as long as one can hold their bladder
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
Everything's perverted in a different way.
Alfred Hitchcock
I always try to look at things as though I were remembering them three years later.
Alfred Hitchcock
Revenge is sweet and not fattening.
Alfred Hitchcock
Even my failures make money and become classics a year after I make them.
Alfred Hitchcock
