Quotes:
|
-
Louis: Vampires pretending to be humans, pretending to be vampires.
Claudia: How avant-garde!
-
Lestat: You are a vampire who never knew what life was until it ran out in a big gush over your lips.
-
Lestat: Your body's dying. Pay no attention.
-
Louis: I'm flesh and blood, but not human. I haven't been human for two hundred years.
-
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!

Trivia:
|
- Johnny Depp was offered the role of Lestat.
- The river scenes were done by removing such modern items as the Greater New Orleans Bridge and radio towers and replacing them with 18th century sailing vessels in post-production.
- Stephen Rea (Santiago) makes regular appearances in Neil Jordan's films.
- Christina Ricci auditioned for the role of Claudia.
- 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.
