Mr. Hitchcock knew what he was doing.

I was under contract with Hitchcock before I even met him. They wouldn't tell me anything about the film, or who was working on it. They had all sorts of excuses as to why they couldn't tell me anything.

I was a fan of Hitchcock, but more importantly than that, he is such an inscrutable man, and a very carefully inscrutable man. He apparently was blank-faced with a calm and controlled presence. I was immediately anxious and thought, 'How am I going to get behind that?'

He was such a fabulous drama coach. What better person to have than Alfred Hitchcock? His work as a director was impeccable. I learned so much.

He wasn't directing it, of course, so I didn't work with Hitchcock.

Hitchcock had a charm about him. He was very funny at times. He was incredibly brilliant in his field of suspense.

Hitchcock had a very strange mind.

Hitchcock was one of the few people in Hollywood who had a brand. Every movie he made was an Alfred Hitchcock movie, couldn't have been anyone else.

I really love Hitchcock; I think he was a complete genius, to me one of the best directors. Such a sense of how to put things together.

So I think it is common knowledge that Hitchcock had fantasies or whatever you want to call them about his leading ladies.
