I can't read fiction without visualizing every scene. The result is it becomes a series of pictures rather than a book.
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
Image
Give them pleasure - the same pleasure they have when they wake up from a nightmare.
Alfred Hitchcock
Image
The Birds could be the most terrifying motion picture I have ever made.

The more successful the villain, the more successful the picture.
Alfred Hitchcock
