[James Stewart once spoke up on behalf of his longtime friend before an audience of peers on the occasion of American Film Institute's tribute to the director.] What he says he said, ... is that 'actors should be treated like cattle.' |
[Of the film, Hayes once said that] Hitchcock wanted to do the movie just for fun, for relief from what he was doing regularly. ... an expensive self-indulgence, though it went over quite well whenever it reached an audience. |
A good film is when the price of the dinner, the theatre admission and the babysitter were worth it. |
A lot of movies are about life, mine are like a slice of cake. |
Actors are cattle. |
Always make the audience suffer as much as possible. |
Blondes make the best victims. They're like virgin snow that shows up the bloody footprints. |
Conversation is the enemy of good wine and food. |
Dialogue should simply be a sound among other sounds, just something that comes out of the mouths of people whose eyes tell the story in visual terms. |
Disney has the best casting. If he doesn't like an actor he just tears him up. |
Drama is life with the dull parts cut out of it. |
dun dun dun dun... dun dun dun dun... |
For me, the cinema is not a slice of life, but a piece of cake. |
