Drama Is Real Life With All The

Man Does Not Live By Murder Alone. He Needs Affection, Approval, Encouragement And, Occasionally, A Hearty Meal.

[when Accepting The American Film Institute Life Achievement Award] I Beg Permission To Mention By Name Only Four People Who Have Given Me The Most Affection, Appreciation, And Encouragement, And Constant Collaboration. The First Of The Four Is A Film Editor, The Second Is A Scriptwriter, The Third Is The Mother Of My Daughter Pat (patricia Hitchcock), And The Fourth Is As Fine A Cook As Ever Performed Miracles In A Domestic Kitchen. And Their Names Are Alma Reville.

In The Documentary The Basic Material Has Been Created By God, Whereas In The Fiction Film The Director Is A God; He Must Create Life.

All Love Scenes Started On The Set Are Continued In The Dressing Room.

In The Old Days Villains Had Moustaches And Kicked The Dog. Audiences Are Smarter Today. They Don't Want Their Villain To Be Thrown At Them With Green Limelight On His Face. They Want An Ordinary Human Being With Failings.
