As far as I know, Vera Miles had a terrible time with Hitchcock, and she wanted to get out of the contract. He didn't let her. She did 'Psycho,' and I believe, if you look at 'Psycho,' there isn't one close up of Vera, not one. After that, she would never even speak about him to anyone.

It has become my mission to stop the insanity of wild cats as pets.

I use every single thing that Alfred Hitchcock taught me in my acting career I am very grateful for the education he gave me in making motion pictures.

I really like birds. Everyone always wants me to say that I can't stand to go near them, just like they want Janet Leigh to confess that she can't bear to take a shower. Well, I'm sorry to disappoint you.

One lion thinks it's just hilarious to tackle us. He's very funny about it... and we always know when it will happen.

Hitchcock had a charm about him. He was very funny at times. He was incredibly brilliant in his field of suspense.
