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

To me Psycho was a big comedy. Had to be.

In reference to the murder scene in 'Dial M for murder' As you have seen on the screen the best way to do it is with a scissor.

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.

Always make the audience suffer as much as possible.

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. I have prepared one of my own. I have placed some rather large samples of dynamite, gunpowder, and nitroglycerin. My time capsule is set to go off in the year 3000. It will show them what we are really like.
