-
Lestat: Evildoers are easier, and they taste better.
-
Armand: The world changes, we do not, there lies the irony that finally kills us.
-
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.
-
Lestat: Your body's dying. Pay no attention.

Trivia:
|
- 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.
- 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.
- Stephen Rea (Santiago) makes regular appearances in Neil Jordan's films.
- 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.
