Handsome enough' is this Grim Reaper, Who can snuff all these 'brief candles,' every fluttering soul sucking the air, from this hall" -The Vampire Lestat

I claim Dickens as a mentor. He's my teacher. He's one of my driving forces.

Come on, say it again. I'm a perfect devil. Tell me how bad I am. It makes me feel so good!

Your love to others, and their love for you, that the increase of love in life itself around you, is what matters.

Sometimes fear is a warning. It's like someone putting a hand on your shoulder and saying Go No Farther.

Life is a tragedy, one way or another. What is certain is that you die.

I am not times fool, nor a god hardened by the millennia; I am not the trickster in the black cape nor the sorrowful wanderer. I have a conscience. I know right from wrong I know what I do and yes, I do it. I am the Vampire Lestat. That's your answer do with it as you will.
