Remember this. His face as it melts. This is why we never get close to mortals because sooner or later, they end up dead.

Lestat [to Claudia]

Young, strong, and likely to fight back. You must be most ferocious.

Lestat [to Claudia]

Claudia: Uncle Les got secrets.
Louis: How you figure?
Claudia: He don't give good answers to questions. And he sits on the truth like it's his chair or something. I thought we weren't supposed to keep secrets.

Claudia: We're a family.
Louis: Yeah. With no secrets.

Louis: I don't want to kill people anymore. There it is.
Lestat: A fish that doesn't swim. A bird refusing flight. You're going to struggle. I have faith in the feline population of New Orleans.

Fenwick: What are you?
Louis: I'm a vampire.

Take a black man in America. Make him a vampire. Fuck with that vampire. And see what comes of it.

Molloy

Lestat: I heard your hearts dancing!
Louis: You watched the whole thing like some creeper.
Lestat: And then I watched you pull over and drain a dog. And run down an alleyway for two more rats. This is not a life!
Louis: That's cause you took my life! I got nothing. I lost everything. I lost my brother. I lost my family. About to lose the last fucking thing I care about.

What did I tell y'all? There he is. There he is.

Florence

Louis: I can smell her on you.
Lestat: From time to time, I like a little variety. There, I said it.

Louis: Do you ever think that we, that's to say, our kind, were put on Earth for a larger purpose?
Lestat: I put you on this Earth. Your purpose is to enjoy yourself.

Hunting is an art. You have the power to subdue anyone you want, but sometimes restraint is your most powerful weapon.

Interview with the Vampire Quotes

Lestat: I had plans to make a new life for myself in St. Louis. That was to be my destiny. And now I know I was right, only it turns out the saint is not a city but a handsome man with the most agreeable disposition.
Lily: You're his destiny, Louis.
Lestat: Destined to be very good friends.

Louis: You've grown old, Daniel.
Daniel: Yeah, well, mortality beats a heavy drum.
