Young, strong, and likely to fight back. You must be most ferocious.

Lestat [to Claudia]

Claudia: So, I'm supposed to kill him?
Louis: You don't have to. There's always the birds and the beasts.
Lestat: Or you can endeavor on an experience that feels like eating syrup while writing in the wind.

Claudia: We're a family.
Louis: Yeah. With no secrets.

Louis: Do you ever think that we, that's to say, our kind, were put on Earth for a larger purpose?
Lestat: I put you on this Earth. Your purpose is to enjoy yourself.

Fenwick: What are you?
Louis: I'm a vampire.

Take a black man in America. Make him a vampire. Fuck with that vampire. And see what comes of it.

Molloy

Lestat: I heard your hearts dancing!
Louis: You watched the whole thing like some creeper.
Lestat: And then I watched you pull over and drain a dog. And run down an alleyway for two more rats. This is not a life!
Louis: That's cause you took my life! I got nothing. I lost everything. I lost my brother. I lost my family. About to lose the last fucking thing I care about.

What did I tell y'all? There he is. There he is.

Florence

Louis: I can smell her on you.
Lestat: From time to time, I like a little variety. There, I said it.

Louis: I don't want to kill people anymore. There it is.
Lestat: A fish that doesn't swim. A bird refusing flight. You're going to struggle. I have faith in the feline population of New Orleans.

Hunting is an art. You have the power to subdue anyone you want, but sometimes restraint is your most powerful weapon.

Lestat [to Louis]

Molloy: What does this taste like to you?
Louis: Like almost all human food. Like paste. Chalk. Like soap.

Interview with the Vampire Quotes

Lestat: I had plans to make a new life for myself in St. Louis. That was to be my destiny. And now I know I was right, only it turns out the saint is not a city but a handsome man with the most agreeable disposition.
Lily: You're his destiny, Louis.
Lestat: Destined to be very good friends.

Louis: You've grown old, Daniel.
Daniel: Yeah, well, mortality beats a heavy drum.
