When television began, it modeled itself after radio. Many early television programs were radio programs first. ‘My Favorite Wife,’ ‘The Jack Benny Show,’ ‘Burns and Allen,’ ‘Alfred Hitchcock Presents.’ Picture Quote #1

For every answer, I like to bring up a question. Maybe I’m related to Alfred Hitchcock or maybe I got to know him too well, but I think life should be that way Picture Quote #1

The thing I loved about Alfred Hitchcock is that he left a lot of open ends there, a lot of clues that didn’t really add up the way you think they would, and sometimes, not at all Picture Quote #1

You’re young forever when you write. Alfred Hitchcock directed until the day he died. As long as you don’t have any dementia or Alzheimer’s, if you have your All-Bran every day and clear yourself out, I think your brains are gonna be all right Picture Quote #1

Even in Australia I’d say 80 percent of our television was American. I grew up watching Alfred Hitchcock Presents and The Twilight Zone. I used to sit with my mum when I was just nine years old, trying to guess what the twist would be. I love that kind of thing Picture Quote #1

I remembered watching the film from Alfred Hitchcock, ‘Dial M for Murder,’ and he shot almost all of that movie in one room. There was a genius in what Hitchcock did by manipulating things in that room so that you could see the distances between things like the tables and the vases because of how he used perspective Picture Quote #1

It’s Toby Jones playing Alfred Hitchcock, not Alfred Hitchcock. We all felt that his silhouette was crucial, so his nose and lips were crucial as well. We had to build it out a bit to get the silhouette. But, with my nose being so small within the proportion of my face, the first nose was too big. I felt like a nose on parade Picture Quote #1

Martin Scorcese is probably America’s greatest living director, and while he is not a titan like John Ford or Alfred Hitchcock or Federico Fellini, he is certainly consistently more interesting than Steven Spielberg, Brian de Palma, Francis Ford Coppola or Woody Allen. Even a failure like Gangs of New York or a curiosity like The Aviator is more interesting and ambitious than Munich, The Black Dahlia or Scoop Picture Quote #1

Particularly [Alfred] Hitchcock, who takes his time with everything he says. There’s a controlling way in how he speaks because he takes his time to finish all his sentences Picture Quote #1

[Alfred] Hitchcock was very interested in the image on the screen.As is any good cinema director. That is the language they speak. It is not literature, it is images on screen Picture Quote #1

I’m a frustrated actor. My ... goal is to beat Alfred Hitchcock in the number of cameos. I’m going to try to break his record Picture Quote #1

One of my few childhood memories is as an eight-year-old, refused permission to watch the Hitchcock season on Irish television, sneakily viewing ‘The Birds’ though a crack in the living-room door. It transformed my hitherto perfectly enjoyable half-mile walk to school, down a country lane patrolled by watchful birds, into a terrifying ordeal Picture Quote #1

I love Hitchcock movies. I took a Hitchcock class in college, so I saw all his movies. I wrote papers on his movies Picture Quote #1

Every different director has another language - for instance, Hitchcock does not like any bright color ever, unless the story says ‘there goes the girl in a red dress.’ Picture Quote #1

I really love Hitchcock; I think he was a complete genius, to me one of the best directors. Such a sense of how to put things together Picture Quote #1

Hitchcock used to believe that if there were three or four memorable scenes in a film that would be enough to drive it, but I don’t know if that’s true or not Picture Quote #1

I studied Hitchcock a little bit at University and knew the famous story about the Birds - that he’d tortured Tippi for a day using real birds. I had no idea that it was a five-day onslaught and that it was the tip of an iceberg that carried on through to another film Picture Quote #1

A lot of films made me love the movies, everything from Hitchcock to Godard. But the ones that really grabbed me were Costa-Gavras’s films like ‘Z’ and ‘State of Siege.’ Picture Quote #1

I was in college in the sixties when movies really got good. I’m a fan of Bergman and Hitchcock and Polanski and Antonioni. Those are my gods Picture Quote #1

Any great movie in the old days has a red herring. Hitchcock was so good at that Picture Quote #1

I read mysteries like Nancy Drew and Alfred Hitchcock, and I swim and I ride my motorbike Picture Quote #1

I was in New York. Hitchcock was in California. He rang me to make a report on his progress and said, I'm having trouble. I've just sacked my second screenwriter Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Hitchcock had a charm about him. He was very funny at times. He was incredibly brilliant in his field of suspense Picture Quote #1
