About this Quote

This quote by Alfred Hitchcock reveals his fear of failure and his anxiety about his work. He is frightened easily and notes four things that produce adrenaline in him: little kids, policemen, high locations, and the fear that his next movie will not be as great as the last one. This quote reveals that Hitchcock was a perfectionist and was constantly aiming to make his next movie much better than the last. He was also scared of the unknown, as evidenced by his fear of children and police officers. His fear of high locations exposes a worry of heights, which could be a metaphor for his fear of taking dangers. Hitchcock's quote is a pointer that worry can be a powerful incentive, but it can also be a hindrance if it is not handled correctly.
