Is this Real? Lisa Hall, Practical Magic soundtrack.

“Twisted… /And I know, yes I know, but is this real?/ And I know, yes I know, but is this real?/Is this real?/Twisted this feeling/Flesh, blood, bone, love…”

“I saw that he was no ordinary man at all. His gray eyes burned with an incandescence, and the long white hands which hung by his sides were not those of a human being….you must realize that all this time the vampire Lestat was extraordinary. He was no more human to me than a biblical angel.” – Louis de Pointe du Lac, Interview with the Vampire

She was simply unlike Lestat and me to such an extent that I couldn’t comprehend her; for little child she was, but also fierce killer capable of the ruthless pursuit of blood with all a child’s demanding.

Claudia?

“Claudia, a face for a locket; or a small oval portrait done on porcelain and kept with a curl of her golden hair in a drawer. But how she would have hated such an image, such an unkind image." -The Vampire Lestat

Only the doll had a human face, only the doll.

“One night, long gone by, was as material to me as if I were in it still,
but I didn’t tell her. She was desperate in that night, running away
from Lestat, who had urged her to kill a woman in the street from
whom she’d backed off, clearly alarmed. I was sure the woman had
resembled her mother. Finally she’d escaped us entirely, but I’d found
her in the armoire, beneath the jackets and coats, clinging to her doll.
And, carrying her to her crib, I sat beside her and sang to her, and she
stared at me as she clung to that doll, as if trying blindly and
mysteriously to calm a pain she herself did not begin to understand.
Can you picture it, this splendid domesticity, dim lamps, the vampire
father singing to the vampire daughter? Only the doll had a human
face, only the doll.” – Louis de Pointe du Lac, Interview with the Vampire
