So, Hitchcock wouldn't say anything about my work in the movie but, on the other hand, he wouldn't complain, either.

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.

When I made my first film, I didn't think of it as directing, so it wasn't like I set out to become a director.

Who was the real Hitchcock? I interviewed him once and haven't a clue.

But I didn't know much about directing a movie.

I still don't know much about directing a movie.

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.

I was in New York. Hitchcock was in California. He rang me to make a report on his progress and said, I'm having trouble. I've just sacked my second screenwriter.

Mr. Hitchcock knew what he was doing.

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.
