It seems to me that television is exactly like a gun. Your enjoyment of it is determined by which end of it you're on.

Give them pleasure - the same pleasure they have when they wake up from a nightmare.

Someone once told me that every minute a murder occurs, so I don't want to waste your time, I know you want to go back to work.

Alfred Hitchcock 146 quotes

I’ve never been very keen on women who hang their sex round their neck like baubles. I think it should be discovered. It’s more interesting to discover the sex in a woman than it is to have it thrown at you, like a Marilyn Monroe or those types. To me they are rather vulgar and obvious.

I always try to look at things as though I were remembering them three years later.

A woman who spends all day washing and cooking and ironing doesn't want to go to the movies to watch a film about a woman who spends all day washing and cooking and ironing.

Alfred Hitchcock 146 quotes

When we think we have been hu...

When we think we have been hurt by someone in the past, we build up defenses to protect ourselves from being hurt in the future. So the fearful past causes a fearful future and the past and future become one.

Alfred Hitchcock 146 quotes

A woman of mystery is one who...

A woman of mystery is one who also has a certain maturity and whose actions speak louder than words. Any woman can be one, if she keeps those two points in mind. She should grow up-and shut up.

Alfred Hitchcock 146 quotes

Suspense is like a woman. The...

Suspense is like a woman. The more left to the imagination, the more the excitement. ... The conventional big-bosomed blonde is not mysterious. And what could be more obvious than the old black velvet and pearls type? The perfect ‘woman of mystery’ is one who is blonde, subtle and Nordic. ... Although I do not profess to be an authority on women, I fear that the perfect title [for a movie], like the perfect woman is difficult to find.

Happiness is a small house, with a big kitchen.

To make a great film you need three things - the script, the script and the script.

It has been rumored that "Psycho" is so terrifying that it will scare some people speechless. Some of my men hopefully sent their wives to a screening. The women emerged badly shaken but still vigorously vocal.

I'm not much into rear window ethics.

I can't read fiction without visualizing every scene. The result is it becomes a series of pictures rather than a book.

Alfred Hitchcock 146 quotes

I don't understand why we hav...

I don't understand why we have to experiment with film. I think everything should be done on paper. A musician has to do it, a composer. He puts a lot of dots down and beautiful music comes out. And I think that students should be taught to visualize. That's the one thing missing in all this. The one thing that the student has got to do is to learn that there is a rectangle up there - a white rectangle in a theater - and it has to be filled.

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

In films murders are always very clean. I show how difficult it is and what a messy thing it is to kill a man.

I'm a writer and, therefore, automatically a suspicious character.
