The Wittiest Alfred Hitchcock Quotes
Alfred Hitchcock was known as a master of the language (as you can see and hear in this interview. Hitch's words, off the cuff or cerebral, had that signature droll British wit. Muse upon these 10 quotes out to see what I mean.
“When an actor comes to me and wants to discuss his
character, I say, 'It's in the script.' If he says, 'But what's my
motivation?, ' I say, 'Your salary.'”
“I never said all actors are cattle; what I said was all actors should be treated like cattle.”
“Self-plagiarism is style.”
“The length of a film should be directly related to the endurance of the human bladder.”
“There is no terror in a bang, only in the anticipation of it.”
“Television has brought back murder into the home - where it belongs.”
“In films murders are always very clean. I show how difficult it is and what a messy thing it is to kill a man.”
“The more successful the villain, the more successful the picture.”
“I have a perfect cure for a sore throat: cut it.”
“There's nothing to winning, really. That is, if you
happen to be blessed with a keen eye, an agile mind, and no scruples
whatsoever.”

Keep these coming - they are wonderful. Anyone with half a brain knows that Hitchcock always had a look of irony on his face and in what he was saying.
Most enjoyable.
Thank you.

In reviewing Hitchcock's classics, I 'm at a loss to understand why in the world did you leave out "Notorious" ? This was a great Hitchcock movie/thriller with Ingrid Bergman and Cary Grant. Bergman starred in three Hitchcock thrillers, Spellbound, Notorious and Under Capricorn and you left out all of them.
He deserved an Academy Award!
HITCHCOCK WAS THE BEST!!!!HE MADE HIS MOVIES THAT ALWAYS KEPT YOU WONDERING. TO BAD HE NEVER WON AN OSCAR. JUST THINK HOW HE WOULD GIVE HIS ACCEPTANCE SPEECH!!
Thanks for the Hitchcock movie memories! These movies are wonderful to see again and just confirms the undeniable fact that Hitch was the Master of Suspense! No need for blood and gore to keep one on the edge of their seat.
Keep 'em coming.
Thank you,for bringing back the master of suspence;Now the only thing I can think of being more perfect,would be to bring the Alfred Hitchcock show,to your programming.PJ Carter
I own most of Hitchcocks films, but it's great to see them out there on TV, for the younger generations to discover.
I'd really love to see the Alfred Hithcock Hour and Alfred Hitchcock Presents back on the air!
I have seen all the Hitchcock movies. No question about it, he
was a great director. I have to admit though, I think he had a thing about his victims. Most of them were women. They were killed, murdered, died, etc., in an awful way; especially
Psycho, Frenzy, Vertigo. Sometimes I wondered if he was a misogynist.
