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?'

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

Mr. Hitchcock knew what he was doing.

Even Hitchcock liked to think of himself as a puppeteer who was manipulating the strings of his audience and making them jump. He liked to think he had that kind of control.

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

I've never understood the cult of Hitchcock. Particularly the late American movies... Egotism and laziness. And they're all lit like television shows.

I would have loved to have been in a Hitchcock movie.

Hitchcock loves to be misunderstood, because he has based his whole life around misunderstandings.

It's hard to imagine anyone interested in film not being a fan of Alfred Hitchcock because he's such a key influence on the entire history of cinema - it's hard to escape his shadow.

Well, for someone who looks like me you wonder where Alfred Hitchcock is.
