More quotes by Tippi Hedren
Being the object of Alfred Hitchcock's obsession was horrific, but while he ruined my career, he could never ruin my life.
Tippi Hedren
Self-belief? My parents gave it to me.
Tippi Hedren
As far as I know, Vera Miles had a terrible time with Hitchcock, and she wanted to get out of the contract. He didn't let her. She did 'Psycho,' and I believe, if you look at 'Psycho,' there isn't one close up of Vera, not one. After that, she would never even speak about him to anyone.
Tippi Hedren
I really need to work. People think that I'm no longer interested in acting and only interested in work-ing with the animals. Obviously I have given that impression, but it is not how I feel. I think I'm a good actor. I think I look OK. I don't understand why I'm not working all the time.
Tippi Hedren
I know so many people who are eaten up by regret. It manifests itself in so many ways. They either become mentally a bit off, or they get very fat, or they are just horribly depressed.
Tippi Hedren
When you love someone, you treat them well.
Tippi Hedren
Animal abuse is rampant in the U.S., right under everyone's eyes, for the entertainment of the public. The brutal confinement and pain of training methods of wild animals in the circus, the aquatic and theatrical shows, leads to retaliation by the animals. Eventually they find the right time to strike out, and they will.
Tippi Hedren
I use every single thing that Alfred Hitchcock taught me in my acting career I am very grateful for the education he gave me in making motion pictures.
Tippi Hedren
I kind of look at my modeling career and the Alfred Hitchcock years as stepping stones to what I'm doing now.
Tippi Hedren
Federal legislation is urgently needed to stop this insanity of wild animals in captivity.
Tippi Hedren
There were so many people who wanted me for their films.
Tippi Hedren
I was studying my 'Bold and Beautiful' script the other day, lying in a hammock, when one of my Siberian tigers walked up and grabbed it out of my hand - she wanted to play. See - teeth marks!
Tippi Hedren
To be the object of somebody's obsession is a really awful feeling when you can't return it.
Tippi Hedren
I really like birds. Everyone always wants me to say that I can't stand to go near them, just like they want Janet Leigh to confess that she can't bear to take a shower. Well, I'm sorry to disappoint you.
Tippi Hedren
It's going to be very interesting to see somebody playing me.
Tippi Hedren
Marnie was ahead of its time. People didn't talk about childhood and its effects on adult life. It was taboo to discuss sexuality and psychology and to put all that into a film was shocking.
Tippi Hedren
I was at the end of the studio system so when I walked into movies, I had a magnificent suite in which I had a living room and a kitchen and a complete makeup room. I had everything just for me. With the independents, you're kind of roughing it, literally.
Tippi Hedren
One lion thinks it's just hilarious to tackle us. He's very funny about it... and we always know when it will happen.
Tippi Hedren
I can look at myself in the mirror, and I can be proud.
Tippi Hedren
Because of 'The Birds' and 'Marnie' I was, as the expression goes, hot in Hollywood and producers and directors wanted to hire me.
