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.
Alfred HitchcockA 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.
Alfred HitchcockSomeone 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 HitchcockWhen you can look forward, and the road is clear ahead, and now you are going to create something - that's as happy as I'd want to be.
Alfred HitchcockIโm frightened of eggs, worse than frightened; they revolt me. That round white thing without any holes, and when you break it, inside thereโs that yellow thing, round, without any holesโฆ Brrr! Have you ever seen anything more revolting than an egg yolk breaking and spilling its yellow liquid? Blood is jolly, red. But egg yolk is yellow, revolting. Iโve never tasted it.
