Joseph Stefano quotes:
-
In Psycho IV, the time is five years after III, and Norman is out of the hospital. He's a married man, and he's finally learned how to love somebody and have natural sex without killing his lover.
-
Hitch was interested in what I had to offer, like one of my background ideas for Norman's upbringing.
-
Hitch suggested a name actress to play Marion because the bigger the star the more unbelievable it would be that we would kill her.
-
Psycho 11 and III say, in effect, there's no way to survive with a psychological problem. If you've got it, the law can keep you locked up because there's no chance for cure.
-
I didn't know it at the time, but Hitch didn't want to talk to me - he hated meeting with people he might have to reject. As it turned out, someone, maybe his agent, insisted that he interview me.
-
A boy's best friend is his mother.
-
We all go a little mad sometimes.
-
We were mainly concerned about nudity - how much could be shown in 1959 and how much would convey, without being gratuitous, the terror of being attacked naked and wet.
