Peter Bogdanovich: [Discussing "Psycho"] The very first screening of that film, none of us had a clue what was gonna happen. And when that - murder - that shower scene came, I've never seen an audience react like that. You could hear a sustained shriek from the audience downstairs. It wasn't like "ah-ah-ah". I was like "aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh". Like they wanted to close it out. But, they couldn't stop watching it. You wanted to close your eyes but you couldn't. Hitch was right, you didn't have to build suspense anymore, they were, they were - blithering idiots. The audience was, "wha-what happened"? They couldn't believe what happened. They kept thinking it couldn't have happened. She's gonna be alive. It was every impulse that you have going to the movies, it was the first time that going to the movies was dangerous.

Alfred Hitchcock: [Discussing "Psycho"] Seven days, seventy set-ups. I used a nude girl, a lot. I shot some of it in slow motion. Because of covering the breasts, you couldn't do it quick. You couldn't measure it correctly.
