I'm always looking, and I'm always asking questions.

The most difficult novel I have had to write in terms of just getting it done was The Vampire Lestat. It took a year to write.

I assume I don't need an introduction.

Dear God, help me. Do not forget me on this tiny cinder lost in a galaxy that is lost–a heart no bigger than a speck of dust beating, beating against death, against meaninglessness, against guilt, against sorrow.

If I am an angel, paint me with black wings.

Writers, as they gain success, feel like outsiders because writers don't come together in real groups.

Don't you see? I'm not the spirit of any age. I'm at odds with everything and always have been! I have never belonged anywhere with anyone at any time!
