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.

Claude Jade is a brave nice young lady. But I don't give any guarantee what she will do on a taxi's back seat.

This weapon [an ax] is primitive but effective. And it's also guaranteed to be fifty-percent painless. You see, it takes two people to operate, and the person at this end [the handle] doesn't feel a thing.

I am scared easily, here is a list of my adrenaline - production: 1: small children, 2: policemen, 3: high places, 4: that my next movie will not be as good as the last one.

I'm not much into rear window ethics.

That is the most frightening sight I have ever seen.

Mystery is an intellectual process... But suspense is essentially an emotional process.
