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.

I use every single thing that Alfred Hitchcock taught me in my acting career... I am very grateful for the education he gave me in making motion pictures.

What is drama but life with the dull bits cut out.

I had to be extremely strong to fight off Mr Hitchcock. He was so insistent and obsessive, but I was an extremely strong young woman, and there was no way he was going to get the better of me.

It seems to me that television is exactly like a gun. Your enjoyment of it is determined by which end of it you're on.

Being the object of Alfred Hitchcock's obsession was horrific, but while he ruined my career, he could never ruin my life.
