The vampire for me is a metaphor for the outsider, the outcast, the predator in all of us —- the lonely one, the heart and soul that feels immortal even when it knows that we all die. Vampire characters help me to talk about reality. They always have. When I’m with Lestat, and Armand and Louis, and Gabrielle, I’m in the real world. All colors blaze bright and music soars to Heaven and I’m not lonely for a while, I’m safe. And that’s why I write about them and through them and with them.

When she writes things like this I can’t help but love her somewhat (despite all the reasons not to), because when I/we read the VC, all colors blaze bright and music soars to Heaven and I’m not lonely for a while, I’m safe. And that’s why I read about them and through them and with them.
You know what I mean? She’s brought us together with this fantasy world, and if that isn’t magic in itself, to create a fandom and bring together friends (and lovers!) for life, or even temporarily, I don’t know what is.

“You want me gone! You, you whining coward of a vampire who prowls the night killing alley cats and rats and staring for hours at candles as if they were people and standing in the rain like a zombie until your clothes are drenched and you smell like old wardrobe trunks in attics and have the look of a baffled idiot at the zoo.” – Lestat de Lioncourt, Interview with the Vampire
“I know nothing of God, or the Devil. I have never seen a vision nor learned a secret that will damn or save my soul. And as far as I know, after four hundred years, I am the oldest living vampire in the world.”
Make sure you tell the people you love that you love them. Loudly and often. You never know when it might be too late.

He tweeted this when he was in the middle of shooting Thor 2.
There had already been rumours that Thor 2 would contain a “major character death”, and this clued me in to the fact that this character was probably going to be Frigga, because this is one of the many big regrets I have about my mother. Turns out, I was right.
To this day I’m convinced that Tom tweeted this the day they filmed her death/funeral/Loki’s breakdown in his cell.

I recite this every time I’m standing in the kitchen with a tragic, dark-haired, green-eyed beauty gazing up at me and wailing his heart out.
Sarcasm doesn’t work on cats, but I still do it.
Deliver me from this, deliver me from loving it. Deliver me from forgetting everything else, and sacrificing all purpose, all resolve to it.

OMG HE DID mean this damn place *cries in the corner*
Yes, you are alive and that means you can die. And everything I see when I look at you is utterly insubstantial. It is a commingling of tiny movements and indefinable colors as if you haven’t a body at all, but are a collection of heat and light. You are light itself, and what am I now?
Lestat (via jardinsalvaje)
The poison. The poison for Lestat, the poison specifically chosen to kill Lestat, Lestat’s poison. That poison.
Claudia at some point, probably.
