More quotes by 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.
Tippi Hedren
My light shines when things get really tough.
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
In fact, I think I have had a ghost in my house. Although not active lately, unexplainable things would happen and the kitties were particularly sensitive - especially, Marlon Brando... the cat not the man.
Tippi Hedren
You don't know what mental telepathy exists from the human to the animal.
Tippi Hedren
I had to be extremely strong to fight off Mr Hitchcock. He was so insistent and obsessive, but I was an extremely strong young woman, and there was no way he was going to get the better of me.
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
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
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 would love to work with Ron Howard. I think he is brilliant. I love the stories that he chooses. Theyre always very personal and intense. He loves a lot of emotion, and hes so well equipped to pull all of that out of the actors. I really love that kind of thing and I think thats what movies should be about.
Tippi Hedren
You can have a million dollar, 20 million dollar budget or 60 million dollar budget, and if you don't have a good script, it doesn't mean a thing.
Tippi Hedren
I had to have help getting up these stairs because I've been tackled by so many lions and tigers. Really. I'm like an old football player.
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
Birds I am fine with - spiders are an entirely different matter.
Tippi Hedren
There were so many people who wanted me for their films.
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
I kind of look at my modeling career and the Alfred Hitchcock years as stepping stones to what I'm doing now.
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.
