Tom Cruise re: Lestat, 4
“People don’t… do things to be evil, they don’t, y’know, they, they do things because they think they’re right, and uh, they think what they’re doing is right and it just so happens that it can be evil to others. So, it was really important to understand that, and have… understand Lestat’s loneliness and, uh, y’know, because he really does love Louis, he really does love Claudia, and he does feel that what he’s giving them is this wonderful gift! Of eternal life! And to join him in what he perceives to be the greatest adventure… ever!”
Tom Cruise re: Lestat, 3:
“I… I… always thought it’d be wonderful to have… y’know, to show Lestat’s sense of humor because he is such a bright character, I mean, you live that long, you’ve read every book, y’know, you can play any instrument you wish to play!”
Tom Cruise re: Lestat, 2:
“As an actor, it’s very challenging because you have to really root this character in an emotional reality – so that you’re not caught playing ’attitudes,’ y’know – that it’s… that it’s real and that it comes from real emotion and a strong foundation of who this guy is.”
Tom Cruise re: Lestat, 1
“I used the books as a reference for me and, y’know, you have to read them, especially Interview with the Vampire, because it’s from Louis’s point of view, you have to read it very carefully to find the clues to who Lestat is, and y’know… his loneliness, and his, his personal… struggle. He recognizes that Louis’ a unique… being, and if he wanted… y’know it’s that whole thing, and Lestat gives him the choice – very clearly – even in the book Lestat gives Louis the choice, uh, and that’s something I felt very strongly about… and when Lestat asks Louis, "Do you still want death? Or have you tasted it enough?” He’s really asking Louis:
“Do you still wanna die? I mean, now you know, you’ve come close to death, is this what you want?”
The reasons people give for disliking Tom Cruise are getting fucking ridiculous now; it’s as though they just wanna join the train and for some reason think it’s “cool“ to hate him.
I know, right?! You should ALL read this article by Amy Nicholson. It’s not nearly enough, but it provides a compelling argument for "How YouTube and the Internet Killed Tom Cruise, America’s Last Movie Star” ;n;
if you are annoyed over the fact that brad pitt and tom cruise did not sleep in the same coffin, clap your hands
It’s worth mentioning that even a tom cruise blog agreed with this sentiment. That’s how disappointing that was!
FYI, you should see Edge of Tomorrow. It’s like the Matrix + War of the Worlds + Groundhog Day + a teensy dash of Lestat (and I won’t spoil it for you WHY I say that)(But there are at least 2 reasons why it has a dash of Lestat)(message me if u can guess why)!
… and the whole thing is very likely to be a cult classic. great action. very amuse. much funny. Tom is basically being Kinda Awkward Dad Learning to Be Cool and it is very endearing.
