More quotes by Anne Rice
That morning I was not yet a vampire, and I saw my last sunrise. I remember it completely, and yet I can't recall any sunrise before it. I watched the whole magnificence of the dawn for the last time as if it were the first. And then I said farewell to sunlight, and set out to become what I became.
Anne Rice
Suppose death had a heart to love and to release you, to whom would he turn this passion, would you chose a person from the crowd there. A person to suffer as you suffer.
Anne Rice
There may be writing groups where people meet but it's occasional. You really do it all at your own computer or your own typewriter by yourself.
Anne Rice
My efforts with Hollywood are like things written in water.
Anne Rice
You look good to me, you damnable little devil, good to embrace and good to love.
Anne Rice
So we reach into the raging chaos, and we cling to it, and we tell ourselves it has meaning, and that the world is good, and we are not evil, and we will all go home in the end.
Anne Rice
First-person narrators is the way I know how to write a book with the greatest power and chance of artistic success.
Anne Rice
I loved words. I love to sing them and speak them and even now, I must admit, I have fallen into the joy of writing them.
Anne Rice
Ah, come now. I look like an angel, but I'm not. The old rules of nature encompass many creatures like me. We're beautiful like the diamond-backed snake, or the striped tiger, yet we're merciless killers
Anne Rice
The whole theme of Interview with the Vampire was Louis's quest for meaning in a godless world. He searched to find the oldest existing immortal simply to ask, What is the meaning of what we are?
Anne Rice
Stephen King in many respects is a wonderful writer. He has made a contribution. People in the future will be able to pick up Stephen King's books and learn a lot about who we were by reading those books.
Anne Rice
What I have always wanted more than revenge is to bring the other person to recognition of the pain they caused, so they essentially say, I will never do that again.
Anne Rice
As for oblivion, well, we can wait a little while for that.
Anne Rice
Don't bend don't water it down don't try to make it logical don't edit your own soul according to the fashion. Rather, follow your most intense obsessions mercilessly. Only if you do that can you hope to make the reader feel every particle of what you, the writer, have known and feel compelled to share.---Forward to Kafka's Short stories
Anne Rice
How can so much beauty hide such a bruised and steely heart, and why must I love him, why must I lean in my weariness upon his irresistible yet indomitable strength? Is he not the wizend funeral spirit of a dead man in a child's clothes?
Anne Rice
Re-telling the Christian story is the essence of my vocation. That has been going on since the Evangelists in one form or another.
Anne Rice
I love New Orleans physically. I love the trees and the balmy air and the beautiful days. I have a beautiful house here.
Anne Rice
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.
Anne Rice
Writers, as they gain success, feel like outsiders because writers don't come together in real groups.
Anne Rice
Our language needs endless synonyms for beautiful the eyes could see what the tongue cannot possibly describe.
Anne Rice
