Quotes from Frank Miller

I'm a spoilt brat. I thought I was just going to walk in and make movies. But I'd been my own boss for so long that all of a sudden to be facing a roomful of people who were niggling over every little scene... I just thought I'd go back and draw my comics and have a happy life.

Deadly little Miho. She won't let you feel a thing unless she wants you to. She twists the blade. He feels it.

You were the one they used against us, Bruce. The one who played it rough.

The girls all know the score. No escape. No surrender. No mercy. We got to kill every last rat bastard one of them, every last one. Not for revenge. Not because they deserve it. not because it'll make the world a better place.
