Alfred Hitchcock

“For me, the cinema is not a slice of life, but a piece of cake.”

“If it's a good movie, the sound could go off and the audience would still have a perfectly clear idea of what was going on.”

“In feature films the director is God; in documentary films God is the director.”

“Luck is everything... My good luck in life was to be a really frightened person. I'm fortunate to be a coward, to have a low threshold of fear, because a hero couldn't make a good suspense film.”

“Television has brought back murder into the home - where it belongs.”
