"If you would shed blood, then let it run as a river."

"Washizu samurai: I have fought in many battles and have seen blood, yet this stain horrifies me. Because this is the blood of a dog, the blood of a despised traitor. He was a coward too. Cried for mercy after his revolt was over."

"Toshiro Mifune - Taketoki Washizu"

"Listen, even the crow is saying: The throne is yours."

"You humans! Never will I comprehend you. You are afraid of your desires - you try to hide them."

"Isuzu Yamada - Lady Asaji Washizu"

"[singing] Men are vain and death is long, And pride dies first within the grave, For hair and nails are growing still, When face and fame are gone, Nothing in this world will save, Or measure up man's actions here, Nor in the next - for there is none, This life must end in fear, Only evil may maintain, An afterlife for those who will, Who love this world - who have no son, To whom ambition calls, Even so - this false fame falls, Death will reign - man dies in vain."

"So my performance of Richard III cast such a spell upon the audience that it put this reviewer into a "deep sleep from which he awoke much refreshed and relieved by the knowledge that he had been spared the ordeal of attending to the aging matinee idol's ranting and posturing." Well, we shall see if we cannot spur you to more rapt attention with today's performance. "Dive, thoughts, down to my soul. Here Clarence comes.""

"Vincent Price has reserved a seat for you in the "theatre of blood.""

"It's curtains for his critics!"

"He gave his critics a bloody and violent taste of their own medicine!"

"[examining a note on a gift box] "I am sorry to miss the meeting, but my heart is with you. Dickman." [he opens it and it contains Dickman's bloody heart] It's him, all right. Only Lionheart would have the temerity to rewrite Shakespeare!"

"Now, let us see what that stupid cretin Mr. Meredith Merridew had to say about my Titus Andronicus. [reads] "Mr. Lionheart's rendering of the role can only be described as villainous. Laid between the delicately underplayed performances of Miss Lillywhite as Lavinia and Miss Mole as Tamora, one is irresistibly reminded of a ham sandwich." [pause] My reputation."
