Alfred Hitchcock Quotes

What is drama but life with the dull bits cut out.

~ Alfred Hitchcock

I said, I don't think I can give you that kind of emotion. And he [Hitchcock] sat there and said, Ingrid, fake it! Well, that was the best advice I've had in my whole life, because in all the years to come there were many directors who gave me what I thought were quite impossible instructions and many difficult things to do, and just when I was on the verge of starting to argue with them, I heard his voice coming to me through the air saying, Ingrid, fake it! It saved a lot of unpleasant situations and waste of time.

~ Ingrid Bergman

There's always one sure way of finding out that you're a misfit. When you're eleven years old, and your friends are telling you that they just sneaked into the theater to watch 'Twilight' and that it was sooooo emotional and sooooo terrifying and soooooo romantic! - but you've been spending the summer watching 'Rosemary's Baby' and 'Don't Look Now' and knowing the lines to all the Alfred Hitchcock films by heart - that's the moment you realize that you're a misfit.

~ Rebecca Mcnutt

I never make up anything. I get everything from my books. They're all true! --Ann Newton/Shadow of a Doubt (1943)

~ Rebecca Hitchcock
