Janet Leigh's quotes
- Psycho (1960) gave me very wrinkled skin. I was in that shower for seven days - 70 setups. At least, he [Alfred Hitchcock] made sure the water was warm.
- I don't know what it is I exude. But whatever it is, it's whatever I am!
- [on her Psycho (1960) co-star, the late Anthony Perkins] To me, he was a leading man. But to the rest of the world, he will always be Norman Bates. People just wouldn't let him be anything else.
- [on Night of the Lepus (1972)] I've forgotten as much as I could about that picture.
- [on getting second billing to Tony Curtis in Houdini (1953), when her career was more established than his] I will always take second billing to my husband. I don't care if he's made one picture and I've made a hundred.
- There's a difference in product. I mean, Boys Don't Cry (1999) would never have been made when -- when we were younger.
- I did probably the three most well-known pictures of my career in my 30s. I mean, Psycho (1960), The Manchurian Candidate (1962) and Touch of Evil (1958) were all -- I was 30, you know, 34. Bye Bye Birdie (1963) was 35-'6.
