Man does not live by murder alone. He needs affection, approval, encouragement and, occasionally, a hearty meal.

For me, suspense doesn't have any value if it's not balanced by humor.

Seeing a murder on television can help work off one's antagonisms. And if you haven't any antagonisms, the commercials will give you some.

Television is like the American toaster, you push the button and the same thing pops up everytime.

The only way to get rid of my fears is to make films about them.

A woman, I always say, should be like a good suspense movie: The more left to the imagination, the more excitement there is. This should be her aim - to create suspense, to let a man discover things about her without her having to tell him.

Revenge is sweet and not fattening.
