Hitchcock quotes

  • Alma Reville: I'm going to ask you this once, and I'll never mention it again. Why this one, Hitch? It's not just because so many people are saying *no*, is it?

    Alfred Hitchcock: Do you remember the fun we had when we started out all those years ago? We didn't have any money then, did we? We didn't have any time, either. But we took risks, do you remember? We experimented. We invented new ways of making pictures because we had to. I just want to feel that kind of freedom again. Like we used to, you know?

  • Ed Gein: This is my favorite place. Just shut the door, make the world go away.

    Alfred Hitchcock: Don't you ever get lonely, out here?

    Ed Gein: I can always talk to my mother.

    [the police start to raid Ed's house]

    Ed Gein: That's strange.

    [the police move upstairs]

    Ed Gein: That's my mother's room. That's my mother's room.

    Ed Gein: [starts crying] You can't go in there! That's my mother's room!
