The fans, the vampire groupies, love the idea of this androgynous, preternatural figure stalking the night, and craving aesthetic pleasure just as he craves blood, wearing only the best velvet clothes, and savoring red roses.
Anne Rice
Image
As if the night had said to me, ‘You are the night and the night alone understands you and enfolds you in its arms’ One with the shadows. Without nightmare. An inexplicable peace.
Anne Rice

Writers, as they gain success, feel like outsiders because writers don't come together in real groups.
Anne Rice
Image
When we talk about our lives, long or short, brief and tragic or enduring beyond comprehension, we impose a continuity on them, and that continuity is a lie.
Anne Rice
Image
All the mortal world is a lethal enemy during those hours between dawn and dusk.
Anne Rice
Image
For always in her there was a dark place full of despair and a great dividing force to make meaning because there was none.
Anne Rice

Keep your secrets Keep your silence It is a better gift than truth

Lestat and Louie feel sorry for vampires that sparkle in the sun. They would never hurt immortals who choose to spend eternity going to high school over and over again in a small town ---- anymore than they would hurt the physically disabled or the mentally challenged. My vampires possess gravitas. They can afford to be merciful.

Merciful death. How you love your precious guilt
Anne Rice

But all morality is of necessity shaped by context. I'm not talking relativism, no. To ignore the context of a decision is in fact immoral.
Anne Rice
Image
I resolved to move just a little bit more slowly through the world, to look around myself with greater care, and to try to remain conscious of all that was going on around me at all times.
Anne Rice
Image
I'm usually working on my own mythology, my own realm of created characters. Stories in mythology inspire me, though I may not be conscious of it.
Anne Rice
Image
The thing should have plot and character, beginning, middle and end. Arouse pity and then have a catharsis. Those were the best principles I was ever taught.
Anne Rice
Image
Like all strong people, she suffered always a measure of loneliness she was a marginal outsider, a secret infidel of a certain sort.
Anne Rice
Image
Be kind. Always if you have a choice, be kind.
Anne Rice
Image
Whatever will happen will happen, but choose your companions with care. Choose them because you like to look at them and you like the sound of their voices, and they have profound secrets in them that you wish to know. In other words, choose them because you love them. Otherwise you will not be able to bear their company for very long.

I do want to go another way - to write something completely different.
Anne Rice

... what I fear in writing is the safe decision.
Anne Rice

….it was a brave man’s fear. I knew what he meant. What must a brave general feel when he knows the battle has gone against him and nothing remains but death?
