Claudia: Tell me how it came to be, that I am this...thing.

Louis: Most of all I longed for death. I know that now. I invited it. A release from the pain of living. My invitation was open to anyone. To the whore at my side, to the pimp that followed. But it was a vampire that accepted.

Lestat: You are a vampire who never knew what life was until it ran out in a big gush over your lips.

Armand: The world changes, we do not, there lies the irony that finally kills us.

Louis: That morning I was not yet a vampire, and I saw my last sunrise. I remember it completely, and yet I can't recall any sunrise before it. I watched its whole magnificence for the last time as if it were the first. And then I said farewell to sun light, and set out to become what I became.
