Anne Rice

Anne Rice
Image
I assume as a child Jesus had to learn how to do carpentry, learn Torah, learn all the things a human child had to learn. If He was human in all ways except that He did not sin, this must have been the case.
Anne Rice

I was particularly stunned by the casting of Cruise, who is no more my Vampire Lestat than Edward G. Robinson is Rhett Butler.
Anne Rice
Image
Maybe that's what Hell is. You go mad. And all your demons come and get you just as fast as you can think them up.
Anne Rice

I'm Gentleman Death in silk and lace, come to put out the candles. The canker in the heart of the rose.
Anne Rice
Image
Come on, say it again. I'm a perfect devil. Tell me how bad I am. It makes me feel so good!
