2. “From his earliest years, Alfred Hitchcock was a loner and a watcher, an observer rather than a participant. “I don’t remember ever having a playmate,” he recalled as an adult. At family gatherings: “I would sit quietly in a corner, saying nothing. I looked and observed a great deal. I’ve always been that way and still am. I was anything but expansive. I was a loner – can’t even remember having had a playmate. I played by myself, inventing my own games.”

— Donald Spoto

4. “But there is probably nothing in the world as determined as a child with a dream.”

— Donald Spoto
