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.
-
Lestat: Your body's dying. Pay no attention.
-
Louis: Vampires pretending to be humans, pretending to be vampires.
Claudia: How avant-garde!
-
Armand: The world changes, we do not, there lies the irony that finally kills us.
-
Lestat: God, I swear you grow more like Louis each day. Then you'll be eating rats!
Claudia: Rats? When did you eat rats Louis?
Louis: It was a long, long time ago. Before you were born, and I don't recommend them.

Trivia:
|
- Tom Cruise was placed on an elevated platform during some scenes to reduce the height difference between his character and other vampires.
- 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.
- Johnny Depp was offered the role of Lestat.
- 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.
