Quotes:
|
-
Lestat: Evil is a point of view. God kills indiscriminately and so shall we. For no creatures under God are as we are, none so like him as ourselves.
-
Claudia: Madeleine, Louis is shy.
Madeleine: Drink.
Claudia: Do it Louis, because I cannot, I haven't the strength. You saw to that when you made me.
Louis: You haven't the vaguest conception under God what you ask.
Madeleine: En contraire Monsieur, I have.
Claudia: You have found your new companion Louis, You will make me mine!
-
Louis: I'm flesh and blood, but not human. I haven't been human for two hundred years.
-
Lestat: You are a vampire who never knew what life was until it ran out in a big gush over your lips.
-
Claudia: One lesson you taught me. Never drink from the dead.

Trivia:
|
- 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.
- Christina Ricci auditioned for the role of Claudia.
- The scenes set on the riverfront in New Orleans (including the infamous "Chat Noir") were filmed on a false front built on the levee downriver from the actual French Quarter. The entire set was constructed around the old section of Jackson Barracks, a National Guard post.
- Many buildings and street lights were darkened for the filming by agreement with the companies and the city. The set was immediately torn down after the filming.. The Victorian house that inspired Anne Rice's novel on which this film is based is located at 503 Divisadero Street near Alamo Square in San Francisco.
- 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.
