Hitchcock had a charm about him. He was very funny at times. He was incredibly brilliant in his field of suspense.
I fell in love with Errol Flynn and Tyrone Power and Basil Rathbone and Hitchcock and Orson Welles and John Huston.
I'm a huge fan of Akira Kurosawa, a big Hitchcock fan.
My favorite types of movies definitely aren't thrillers, but at the same time you can't deny the genius of Hitchcock's films.
The purpose of thinking about the future is not to predict it but to raise people's hopes.
[Bruce straps braces onto his leg, grimacing with pain] Alfred Pennyworth: Is it really painful? Bruce Wayne: Well, you're welcome to try it, Alfred. Alfred Pennyworth: Happy watching, thank you, sir.
We are looking at a future where to a first approximation, everyone is wealthy.
Alfred: Susannah, you know how much I loved Samuel. And I think you know. Out of respect for him I wanted to say it in this place. I think you know that I'm in love with you. From the first moment I saw you. Like in a novel. That's my mother's romant...
Who was the real Hitchcock? I interviewed him once and haven't a clue.
I'm attracted to things that scare me, like 'Psycho,' my favorite Hitchcock movie.
I've never understood the cult of Hitchcock. Particularly the late American movies... Egotism and laziness. And they're all lit like television shows.
So, Hitchcock wouldn't say anything about my work in the movie but, on the other hand, he wouldn't complain, either.
Alfred Pennyworth: When you told me your grand plan for saving Gotham, the only thing that stopped me from calling the men in white coats was when you said that it wasn't about thrill-seeking. Bruce Wayne: It's not. Alfred Pennyworth: What would you ...
Woolrich had a genius for creating types of story perfectly consonant with his world: the noir cop story, the clock race story, the waking nightmare, the oscillation thriller, the headlong through the night story, the annihilation story, the last hou...
Sarah: Alfred, I can't live like this! Alfred Borden: Well, what do you want from me? Sarah: I want... I want you to be honest with me. No tricks, no lies, no secrets. [pause] Sarah: Do you... do you love me? Alfred Borden: Not today. No.
[Olivia visits Alfred Borden in his workshop. Bernard Fallon is there too] Olivia Wenscombe: I'm here to give your show what's still missing. Alfred Borden: Yeah? What might that be? Olivia Wenscombe: Me. [Borden laughs] Alfred Borden: I was just say...
Sarah: Alfred I can't live like *this*! Alfred Borden: Well, what do you want from me? Sarah: I want - I want you to be, honest with me. No tricks, no lies, no secrets. [pause] Sarah: Do you - do you love me? Alfred Borden: Not today. No.
[Alfred smashes a prototype cowl with a baseball bat] Alfred Pennyworth: It's a problem with the graphite, sir. The next 10,000 will be up to specifications. Bruce Wayne: At least they gave us a discount. Alfred Pennyworth: Quite. In the, uh, meantim...
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.
With Hitchcock I had little relationship. I was called to replace Bernard Herrmann, his favorite composer, in Torn Curtain, after the bitter fight between them.
Alfred Borden: He's a sharp lad, your son. Sarah: He's my nephew. Alfred Borden: Oh.
