Quotes:
|
-
Lestat: Your body's dying. Pay no attention.
-
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: You are a vampire who never knew what life was until it ran out in a big gush over your lips.
-
Louis: I'm flesh and blood, but not human. I haven't been human for two hundred years.
-
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:
|
- 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.
- Christina Ricci auditioned for the role of Claudia.
- Johnny Depp was offered the role of Lestat.
- Stephen Rea (Santiago) makes regular appearances in Neil Jordan's films.
- 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.
