Bernard Herrmann - biography

“Hitch has his own world of film, and he’s created characters and places and stories for it, very much the way Dickens did.  It’s not a question of whether it’s a real world or an actual world, it’s a world that’s been imagined and realised.  Dickens was able to do it through the page, Hitch does it through film.  Psycho is very much like a Wilkie Collins story.”

“Your views are as narrow as your tie.”
