Good evening.
Behind every Psycho is a great woman.

Quotes:

Alfred Hitchcock: [after viewing the shower scene with Bernard Herrmann's score for the first time] It's getting there.

Alfred Hitchcock: I will never find a Hitchcock blonde as beautiful as you.::Alma Reville: Oh, Hitch. I've waited thirty years to hear you say that.::Alfred Hitchcock: And that my dear, is why they call me the Master of Suspense.

Alfred Hitchcock: My contract guarantees me final cut on all of my pictures.::Barney Balaban: It also states that Paramount doesn't have to release anything that might cause the studio embarrassment!::Alfred Hitchcock: As opposed to those last five Martin and Lewis pictures you're so proud of?

Geoffrey Shurlock: [In reference to the shower scene] The addition of a lyrical score will not change my opinion!

Alfred Hitchcock: You may call me Hitch. Hold the Cock.

Alfred Hitchcock: [to Janet] Hope you don't mind, I told Mrs Bates she could use your dressing room.

[last lines]::Alfred Hitchcock: Good evening.

Alma Reville: It was the knife that, a moment later, cut off her scream, and her head. Charming. Doris Day should do it as a musical!

Rita Riggs: Is this really going to be your next picture?::Alfred Hitchcock: Yes Madam! Oh by the way, try the finger sandwiches. They are real fingers.

Alma Reville: Are we going to have to sell the whole house, or just the pool?

He made her his star. And his darkest obsession.

Quotes:

[Alfred Hitchcock pours a glass of wine for Tippi Hedren, just after he has first met her]::Alfred Hitchcock: This is a very fine Californian pinot noir. It's called the heartbreak grape. Do you know why? Of all the grapes used to make wine, these are the most fragile. It has a very thin skin, prone to disease, mould, every kind of rot and virus known to the vintner's art. So growing pinot noir is a bit like making a movie - heartbreak guaranteed.

[Evan Hunter, writer of the screenplay for The Birds, disagrees with Hitchcock about the casting of Tippi Hedren]::Evan Hunter: A seven-year contract?::Alfred Hitchcock: Her inexperience is an asset. She has nothing to un-learn. Also she's unattached so she won't get pregnant. I do *hate* it when actresses get pregnant.::Evan Hunter: I thought you were kidding.::Alfred Hitchcock: [grimly] As is well-known, I have no sense of humor whatsoever.

[Hitchcock recites a limerick to Tippi Hedren]::Alfred Hitchcock: There was a young lady of Trent / Who said she knew what it meant / When he asked her to dine / Private room, lots of wine / She knew, oh she knew - but she went!::[Tippi raises her wineglass as a toast]::Tippi Hedren: Heartbreak guaranteed.

Alfred Hitchcock: There was a young man from Nantucket / Who had such a large cock he could suck it. / He looked in the glass / And saw his own arse / And broke his neck trying to fuck it.

Alfred Hitchcock: A worried young man from Stamboul / Discovered red spots on his tool. / Said the doctor, a cynic, / Get out of my clinic! / Just wipe off that lipstick, you fool.

Alfred Hitchcock: There was a young girl from Sofia / Who succumbed to her lover's desire. / She said it's a sin, / But now that it's in / Could you shove it a few inches higher?

[title quote]: Blondes make the best victims. They're like virgin snow that shows up the bloody footprints. - Alfred Hitchcock

Famous quotes by Martin Balsam:

"I still don't feel whatever change you're supposed to feel when your name goes up above the title. I think that's because this star thing has never been the first consideration with me. Never. The work has always come first."
