[Eva Marie Saint on Hitchcock] "He said, `I don`t want you going back to sink-to-sink movies. You do movies where you wash the dishes looking drab in an apron. The audience wants to see their leading ladies dressed up.` He saw me as others didn`t."
Alfred Hitchcock
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.
Mel Brooks
I like to see a film where I don`t need to look at the titles to know who did it, where one image is enough to say this is David Lynch, this is Alfred Hitchcock, this is Spike Lee.
Isabella Rossellini
[on his first meeting with Alfred Hitchcock] I had heard that he loved to tell stories and so I watched him like a hawk, and when I was of the opinion he had just told the punchline of a story, I broke out in such laughter that I almost fell off my chair.
Peter Lorre
[after he heard that Smokey and the Bandit (1977) was the favourite film of director Alfred Hitchcock]: I have had people who were very intellectual and my heroes, that have quietly said to me, "I loved Smokey and the Bandit!" And I said, "It`s alright be...
Burt Reynolds
About her performance as Euripides`s Medea on stage: If one does theatre, it`s to show human beings. They`re not gods. In Euripides, that`s clear. He was an avant-garde writer. Medea is a little like a Hitchcock film. The gods have decided what everybody ...
Isabelle Huppert
[on Alfred Hitchcock] He is the one who distilled the essence of film. He`s like Webster. It`s all there. I`ve used a lot of his grammar.
Brian De Palma
Psycho (1960) gave me very wrinkled skin. I was in that shower for seven days - 70 setups. At least, he [Alfred Hitchcock] made sure the water was warm.
Janet Leigh
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.
Kim Novak
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.
Kim Novak
When asked if it was true that she doesn`t take showers: "It`s actually, honestly true. And not because of the shooting of it. It was the seeing of it. It never dawned on me how truly vulnerable we are. But that`s what [Alfred Hitchcock] did. A shower. A ...
Janet Leigh
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.""
Paul Haggis
[On Alfred Hitchcock] I think he`s a very good technician. And he has something in Psycho (1960), he had some moments. Psycho is one of his most interesting pictures because he had to make the picture very fast, with very primitive means. He had little mo...
Ingmar Bergman
I`m very much into self-improvement - particularly with cinema. I`ve just started watching Hitchcock films and I recently saw Michael Moore`s Bowling For Columbine, which was a revelation for me. I do my best to extend my knowledge, but I always seem to b...
Romola Garai
For years, directors and producers came up to me and said they`d wanted me for a role, but [Alfred Hitchcock] wouldn`t allow it. The worst was when I found out that Francois Truffaut had wanted to cast me. I`d never heard a word about it. That one hurt.
Tippi Hedren
[on Alfred Hitchcock] You can see from the way he uses actors that he sees them as animated props. He casts his films very, very carefully and he knows perfectly well in advance that all the actors that he chooses are perfectly capable of playing the part...
James Mason
On March 1, 2005, she was asked which is her favorite Alfred Hitchcock film that she starred in, and her response was: "I think Marnie (1964). They were both so different that it`s kind of hard to figure out which, but The Birds (1963) was sort of a chase...
Tippi Hedren
On being offered the title role in Marnie (1964) by Alfred Hitchcock: "I was stunned. I was amazed that he would offer me this incredible role and that he would have that kind of faith in me. . .I thought Marnie was an extremely interesting role to play a...
Tippi Hedren

Eva Marie Saint
[on working with Alfred Hitchcock on "Psycho"] Hitch relished scaring me. When we were making "Psycho," he experimented with the mother`s corpse, using me as his gauge. I would return from lunch, open the door to the dressing room and propped up in my cha...
Janet Leigh
We tried to keep in the spirit of the Hitchcock films, ... We`ve done everything in black and white the outfits, makeup, sets to get the feel of being in an old movie.
Paul Rose
