More quotes by Tippi Hedren
If people could be as honest as animals, what a different world it would be.
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 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
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
Self-belief? My parents gave it to me.
Tippi Hedren
Federal legislation is urgently needed to stop this insanity of wild animals in captivity.
Tippi Hedren
You don't see sick animals in the wild. You don't see lame animals in the wild, and its all because of the predator: the lion, the tiger, the leopard, all the cats.
Tippi Hedren
To be the object of somebody's obsession is a really awful feeling when you can't return it.
Tippi Hedren
It's going to be very interesting to see somebody playing me.
Tippi Hedren
I can look at myself in the mirror, and I can be proud.
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
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
You don't know what mental telepathy exists from the human to the animal.
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
When you love someone, you treat them well.
Tippi Hedren
Birds I am fine with - spiders are an entirely different matter.
Tippi Hedren
Ive always had a fascination for animals. I loved watching them, and even then I thought of them as beings rather than pets. I call it a birth affect!
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
There were so many people who wanted me for their films.
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.
