sorry:

I read an article the other day that said, “if you drink every day you are an alcoholic.” Thank god I only drink every night

“If I want to sleep all day and drink all night, I’ll do it, damn you!”

– Lestat de Lioncourt

I love this line so much bc it works on different levels. Primarily the fact that THATS BASICALLY WHAT VAMPIRES DO. Sleep all day and drink all night. So Lestat is actually behind perfectly honest here with his dad! It’s one of Lestat’s cleverest lines EVER regardless of whether he came up with it on the spot or it’s his credo.

Here’s more text from IWTV preceding that quote, because of reasons:

“He was in his father’s bedroom meantime, telling the old man good-bye, that he would return in the morning. ‘But where do you go, why must you live by such a schedule!’ the old man demanded, and Lestat became impatient. Before this, he’d been gracious to the old man, almost to the point of sickening one, but now he became a bully. `I take care of you, don’t I? I’ve put a better roof over your head than you ever put over mine! If I want to sleep all day and drink all night, I’ll do it, damn you!’ ”
