Alfred Hitchcock

Happiness is a small house, with a great big garden.

I like to put the audience through it.

The art of terror is to make people comfortable and then pull the rug out from under them.

My love of film is more than a passion, it is an obsession.

I'm not against violence. I'm against boring violence.

I like to use the camera to create suspense.

The MacGuffin is nothing.

I am a very meticulous director.

I have a great sense of humor.

I am always looking for new ways to scare people.

I try to avoid clichés.

Actors are cattle.
