They made a fatal mistake in doing ‘Psycho’ again. Why do that? Why revisit something that stands for itself? Martin Landau
I think ‘North by Northwest’ and ‘Rope’ and Rear Window’ and ‘Psycho’ are on my list of favorite all time movies. I just think his kind of command as a director was almost unparalleled, and I feel like in certain ways the sort of character-based thriller owes more to Hitchcock than anyone. Carlton Cuse
I’m thinking of remaking ‘Psycho’ again. Doing a third remake. The idea this time is to really change it – we’re talking about doing a punk rocker setting. Gus Van Sant
When people think about me, that’s all they think: ‘He’s crazy. He’s psycho. He’s this.’ No, that was just my blog; that was Agent Zero; that was my persona that I was putting out there. And eventually, that all caught up with me. Gilbert Arenas
I have too many psycho superstitions. Skip Bayless
‘The Conjuring’ is incredibly effective and scary without the use of blood, gore, and death. It’s a horror film that emphasizes atmosphere and suspense in the tradition of classics like ‘Psycho’ or ‘The Others.’ Toby Emmerich
I think the older I get, the more psycho I get. Max Cavalera
‘American Psycho’ reminds me of my track in ‘Tommy,’ my first Broadway show. It’s similar conceptually and has that rock n’ roll streak. Alice Ripley
Of all the movies I’ve done in my life, the one where I play a crazy awful psycho woman finds me my husband. Bridgette Wilson

I think I’ve only done one horror movie, Psycho III. That was a walk in the park compared to a romantic comedy. Carter Burwell
It goes all the way back to ‘Psycho.’ Movies with twists like that are memorable because they’re so simple. Steve Zahn
Less Than Zero and American Psycho were both really different, so I was just like, Okay, he’s just really doesn’t have anything pleasant to say, you know? But I get it. I get at least why it’s difficult and what he’s really doing. Shannyn Sossamon
When you’re watching Psycho, there’ s that moment when you have a visceral reaction to watching someone being stabbed. And then you have the intellectual revelation that you’re not, and that’s where the celebration comes in. Penn Jillette
When men attempt bold gestures, generally it’s considered romantic. When women do it, it’s often considered desperate or psycho. Sarah Jessica Parker
‘Padman’ was about my early life and struggles, including my wife calling me a psycho and leaving me. Arunachalam Muruganantham
Something like ‘Psycho,’ which is this psychological thing that slowly, slowly, slowly builds, and actually it’s a much more powerful reaction you have when it assumes that you’re intelligent as you’re watching it. I want them to make me believe that whatever’s happening could really happen, and then it becomes much more frightening. Arthur Slade
I do all kinds of roles – nerd, psycho, nerd, psycho, nerd, psycho – and occasionally someone kind of normal. It’s weird, when I lived in Austin I was always cast as pretty normal people. But when I moved to Los Angeles I was immediately branded a psycho. John Hawkes
I’m not psycho… I just like psychotic things. Gerard Way
‘Psycho’ is fascinating philosophically, because the point of ‘Psycho’ is that everything that’s bad happens because of love. Penn Jillette
I like the old, classic scary movies. I love ‘Psycho,’ ‘The Sixth Sense,’ and ‘Poltergeist.’ Miranda Cosgrove
I did not have a mobile phone in 1993. No one did, except the occasional banker or Hollywood star seeming smart, or the main character in ‘American Psycho.’ In 1993, every day was ‘let’s get lost.’ I could walk Greenwich Village for hours and not be found. Elizabeth Wurtzel
When I meet a girl I like, I call her the next day. I don’t play that three-day rule. Maybe that’s psycho. Daren Kagasoff
I want to play a psycho, something more challenging than just ‘the girlfriend’ part. Barbara Palvin
Figuring out what made ‘American Psycho’ tick, it was such a fun script to work on, especially when we got an audience. Everything about it was so dark and yet ABSURD. I played Evelyn, and balancing what made her real and ridiculous was incredibly rewarding. Helene Yorke
I did a thing for Progress for a tournament and I started using ‘Psycho Killer’ by Talking Heads as my entrance music. That became my thing and Psycho Killer was my pseudo personality and in one year it just took off. Tommaso Ciampa
I’m just kind of odd. There are dark forces in the world, and if you pay attention to what’s going on around you, you end up incorporating it into the storytelling. Maybe it’s some aspect of myself that’s coming through that people are seeing, that I am in fact a quiet psycho. Michael Shannon

I get to actually experience what it would be like to be a psycho, which is not a fun one, or to be a cowboy, or to be a weird character of some sort. For me, it suits me. It suits my personality. I’m an emotional kind of person anyway. Josh Holloway
The nice way to meet a guy is through getting to know them first. Then you can really judge their personality. What I can’t take is meeting someone, going on a date, getting to know them, then finding out they’re a complete psycho – ‘Great, I’ve just wasted all this time on you!’ Katy B
Nobody’s angry all the time, unless you’re a psycho. Brian Azzarello

Sweet But Psycho’ blew up pretty much overnight after my 10-year struggle. It’s hilarious when people say it was overnight, because it was not overnight. Ava Max
I was not really worried about what people thought of me or how offensive my jokes were. I was just kind of saying whatever I wanted, and that gave me the reputation of being this crazy, loose cannon, you know, psycho guy. It still kind haunts me to this day. Like, ‘Oh, Shane Dawson – that guy’s nuts.’ Shane Dawson

As far as I know, Vera Miles had a terrible time with Hitchcock, and she wanted to get out of the contract. He didn’t let her. She did ‘Psycho,’ and I believe, if you look at ‘Psycho,’ there isn’t one close up of Vera, not one. After that, she would never even speak about him to anyone. Tippi Hedren
I think every young girl who’s been through a lot with relationships and trusting people has an inner psycho. Megan McKenna
I wrote a ‘Lenny Letter’ on a whim, and it felt indulgent, but people came up to me with tears in their eyes saying, ‘Thank you.’ There’s so much shame about mental illness in our country and so many stereotypes about women being ‘crazy’ or ‘psycho.’ Whitney Cummings

I love the horror genre and the thriller genre, so I’ve got no problem with playing a psycho. Valorie Curry

So Am I’ is sonically like similar to ‘Psycho’ and energy-wise. Ava Max
In Judaism, the temple was the most holy site in the world. But if you extend that argument as a metaphor, and you say ‘The world is a holy place,’ and you’re treating this holy place like a money-lending psycho, then Jesus says, ‘This is hypocrisy!’ and he’d point it out and flip it over. Jeff Baena

I will make up a crush, you hear me?! I will look at a guy and say, for two months at least, ‘I think you’re cute.’ And then I can be psycho.

I’m a master of heels. I’m used to them. I’m tiny, so I wear them all the time. Apart from to the beach. That would be slightly psycho. I’m over the top, but not that much yet. Josephine de La Baume
Vera Caspary wrote thrillers – but not like any other author of her time, male or female. Her specialty was a specific type that she pioneered – the psycho thriller. M. J. Rose
‘Point Omega’ starts in an art gallery, where an unnamed man is watching, day after day, a 24-hour version of ‘Psycho,’ an installation that was created by the Scottish artist, Douglas Gordon.

Never stay in a bad marriage, and don’t hang around with psycho coke fiends. Joe Rogan

I watched ‘Psycho’ a million times. Gillian Flynn
‘The Voice’ has lots of singers who fit the ‘Idol’ mold of young, innocent ingenues with psycho stage moms. But it also has long-suffering adult pros, with a whiff of thirtysomething despair in their voices. That adds an edge of realness. Rob Sheffield

I forgive my mom for being a psycho and my dad for being a loser. Nikki Sixx
I’m an actor, and I don’t look at myself as providing comic relief. I have done diverse and dark roles such as a psycho, murderer, and others in films such as ‘Don’, ‘Eklavya’ and ‘3 Idiots.’ Boman Irani
When ‘Psycho’ came out back in 1960, it was seen as an abomination and as this really gory thing. We all watch ‘Psycho’ today, of course, and think it’s so tame since there’s no blood or any real gore in it. But for the standards of the day when it was released, it was extreme. Leigh Whannell
