-
Lestat: Your body's dying. Pay no attention.
-
Lestat: Evildoers are easier, and they taste better.

Trivia:
|
- Tom Cruise was placed on an elevated platform during some scenes to reduce the height difference between his character and other vampires.
- Johnny Depp was offered the role of Lestat.
- Stephen Rea (Santiago) makes regular appearances in Neil Jordan's films.
- River Phoenix was cast as The Interviewer, but died before filming began. Leonardo DiCaprio was approached to play his role, but Christian Slater eventually got the part and donated all of his earnings from the film to Phoenix' favorite charities.
- Tom Cruise wanted a private set, and hence tunnels were built to escort the actors to and from the set. This was done so that the vampire's makeup effects would remain a secret.
