Alfred Hitchcock

“Blondes make the best victims. They're like virgin snow that shows up the bloody footprints.”

“I'm full of fears and I do my best to avoid difficulties and any kind of complications. I like everything around me to be clear as crystal and completely calm.”

“Disney has the best casting. If he doesn't like an actor he just tears him up.”

“Television is like the invention of indoor plumbing. It didn't change people's habits. It just kept them inside the house.”

“Luck is everything... My good luck in life was to be a really frightened person. I'm fortunate to be a coward, to have a low threshold of fear, because a hero couldn't make a good suspense film.”

“Television has brought back murder into the home - where it belongs.”

“In feature films the director is God in documentary films God is the director.”

“If it's a good movie, the sound could go off and the audience would still have a perfectly clear idea of what was going on.”

“The length of a film should be directly related to the endurance of the human bladder.”

“A good film is when the price of the dinner, the theatre admission and the babysitter were worth it.”

“A lot of movies are about life, mine are like a slice of cake.”

“We seem to have a compulsion these days to bury time capsules in order to give those people living in the next century or so some idea of what we are like.”
