The thing I loved about Alfred Hitchcock is that he left a lot of open ends there, a lot of clues that didn't really add up the way you think they would, and sometimes, not at all.

I don't think you want to give all the answers, but I think every answer you do give should bring up another question, and not all questions should be answered.

I didn't want to start relying on what someone else thought was right. It was easier to go away all together.

I always felt Jimmy was trapped in Hollywood. He felt it himself. He loved aviation so much and he wanted to be able to do more of that. He somehow just got stuck here.

I loved acting, which was never about money, the fame. It was about a search for meaning. It was painful.

I was always opinionated.

If you want to live on the edge of life, you need to be flexible.

If you're wanting glamorous or really beautiful or really sexy, well then, I wasn't really the one, but I could do all of that. You could just get really lost in that kind of image.

So, Hitchcock wouldn't say anything about my work in the movie but, on the other hand, he wouldn't complain, either.

I live way out in the country, so there's not a lot of people around to remind me. And my friends don't think of me as 'Kim Novak' anymore anyway. It's like they forgot, too. And so it's nice.

Harry Cohn did not make me. But I also feel that I probably didn't make me, either. I think it was a combination. I think that's what made it work.

I've never owned an Apple product. I like the fact that PCs are open architecture and not locked down like Apple products. I feel that Macs are also unjustifiably overpriced.

There is always one thing to be grateful for - that one is one's self and not somebody else.

There is no such thing as "the user". Users... come in all shapes, sizes, and colors, and they have widely varying information needs.

memories are like corks left out of bottles. They swell. They no longer fit.

I read to be taken out of myself, to become ecstatic.

Don't expect me to die for you.

Basically, unless you're willing to write down debts and save the economy, you're going to have deflation and a steady drain in purchasing power - that is, shrinking markets.

Please do not shoot the pianist. He is doing his best.

Is not the most erotic part of the body wherever the clothing affords a glimpse?

The work is the understanding of the people that you're speaking for. The further you get away from that, the further you are from the work.
