I read mysteries like Nancy Drew and Alfred Hitchcock, and I swim and I ride my motorbike.

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.

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

My knowledge of trains - and love before first sight, love at negative-one sight - comes from Alfred Hitchcock.

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

They know you're not Alfred Hitchcock, but you need to be enough Alfred Hitchcock for them not to be bothered by it. That's a reassuring thing.
