Hitchcock loves to be misunderstood, because he has based his whole life around misunderstandings.

The most beautiful thing I have ever seen in a movie theatre is to go down to the front and turn around, and look at all the uplifted faces, the light from the screen reflected upon them.

Film lovers are sick people.

Life has more imagination than we do.

What switched me to films was the flood of American pictures into Paris after the Liberation.

I am often asked at what point in my love affair with films I began to want to be a director or a critic. Truthfully, I don't know. All I know is that I wanted to get closer and closer to films.
