Alfred Hitchcock Quotes

In feature films the director is God; in documentary films God is the director Picture Quote #1

I always take the audience into account Picture Quote #1

I always try to look at things as though I were remembering them three years later Picture Quote #1

I try to offset any tendency towards the macabre with humour. As I see it, this is a typically English form of humour. It's a piece with such jokes as the one about the man who was being led to the gallows to be hanged. He looked at the trap door in the gallows, which was flimsily constructed, and he asked in some alarm, 'I say, is that thing safe?' Picture Quote #1

I have prepared one of my own [time capsule]. 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 Picture Quote #1

In the old days villains had moustaches and kicked the dog. Audiences are smarter today. They don't want their villain to be thrown at them with green limelight on his face. They want an ordinary human being with failings Picture Quote #1

In regard to the tune, we have a name in the studio, and we call it the 'MacGuffin.' It is the mechanical element that usually crops up in any story. In crook stories it is always the necklace and in spy stories it is always the papers. We just try to be a little more original Picture Quote #1

What is drama but life with the dull bits cut out Picture Quote #1

Disney has the best casting. If he doesn't like an actor he just tears him up Picture Quote #1

These are bagpipes. I understand the inventor of the bagpipes was inspired when he saw a man carrying an indignant, asthmatic pig under his arm. Unfortunately, the man made sound never equalled the purity of the sound achieved by the pig Picture Quote #1
