Hitchcock Quotes - page 2
Hitchcock had a charm about him. He was very funny at times. He was incredibly brilliant in his field of suspense.
Tippi Hedren
Hitchcock had a very strange mind.
Tippi Hedren
He was such a fabulous drama coach. What better person to have than Alfred Hitchcock? His work as a director was impeccable. I learned so much.
Tippi Hedren
I had to be extremely strong to fight off Mr Hitchcock. He was so insistent and obsessive, but I was an extremely strong young woman, and there was no way he was going to get the better of me.
Tippi Hedren
So I think it is common knowledge that Hitchcock had fantasies or whatever you want to call them about his leading ladies.
Tippi Hedren
Working with Chaplin was very amusing and strange. His films are so funny, but working with him, I found him to be a very serious man. Whereas the films of Hitchcock are macabre, he could be a very funny man to work with, always telling jokes and holding court. Of course, when I worked with Charlie he was getting older.
Tippi Hedren
I kind of look at my modeling career and the Alfred Hitchcock years as stepping stones to what I'm doing now.
Tippi Hedren
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.
Tippi Hedren
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.
Tippi Hedren
The rules of suspense are that you do know, and you just don't know when. In the Hitchcock rules of suspense, you are supposed to know that there is a bomb on the bus that might blow up, and then it becomes very tense - but if you don't know that there's a bomb and it just blows up, then it's just a surprise.
Gus Van Sant
I'm a huge fan of Akira Kurosawa, a big Hitchcock fan.
Jennifer Lynch
I love Hitchcock movies. I took a Hitchcock class in college, so I saw all his movies. I wrote papers on his movies.
Jason Blum
I can remember soundtracks that you just can't separate from the film - It's just so intertwined, so important. Like the Hitchcock ones where they kind of inform each other and become this larger thing as a result.
Jonny Greenwood
There were two times in my life that inspired me the most. The first was when I was a kid, probably the most emotionally influential time, when you're naïve and innocent. I went to movie theaters and fell in love with genre films in the 1950s, when there was a big wave of monster movies. My passion came from the young guy who was watching The Fly back in 1958. Then, going to USC I began to watch movies in a different way and was exposed to different kinds of movies, foreign films. We had directors like Orson Welles, Alfred Hitchcock, Howard Hawks and John Ford come down and lecture us. It was unbelievable!
John Carpenter
Well, maybe it has to do with the fact that I was a complete Hitchcock fanatic from age 9.
Armistead Maupin
Hitchcock was one of the few people in Hollywood who had a brand. Every movie he made was an Alfred Hitchcock movie, couldn't have been anyone else.
David Chase
Alfred Hitchcock had to find ways to create tension without showing it, but now with computer-generated effects you can show anything.
Giles Duley
I'm attracted to things that scare me, like 'Psycho,' my favorite Hitchcock movie.
Janelle Monae
I don't think of Storefront Hitchcock or Stop Making Sense as documentaries, I think of them more as performance films.
Jonathan Demme
You watch an old 'Jeopardy!' and the categories alone are very plain. 'Poetry,' or 'Movies,' or 'Physics.' If you watch it now, though, there'll be a theme board where the categories are all Hitchcock movies. Lots more jokes, lots more high-concept categories and questions.
Ken Jennings
In my mid-20s, I was directing episodes of 'Alfred Hitchcock' and 'Peter Gunn.' I was pretty much on course and - as I sometimes joke - was prepared to devote my life to become the second best film director in my family.
George Stevens, Jr.
Guys like Spielberg and Zemeckis and really anybody who is a storyteller-filmmaker today has studied Hitchcock and the way he visually tells a story. He was the master of suspense, certainly, but visually you would get a lot of information from what he would do with the camera and what he would allow you to see as the story was unfolding.
Ralph Macchio
