Ever considered murdering your husband and making it look like an accident? if so, how would you have ended his life?
Yes.
Belladonna. Then, in his death throws, removing his manhood with a stiletto. I would feed it to him, but really, who has the time?
What sort of relationship did you have with your father? Did he love you?
My father and I…clashed from a very early age. He was always tougher on me than the rest of my brothers, always expected more yet was never satisfied. I can’t fathom what I could have done to upset him so. My only crime seemed to be that I existed.
I don’t know if he loved me. I think not. He apologized in his dying moments for snatching me out of the monastery and burning my books, begging my forgiveness, but I think perhaps he was more concerned with his immortal soul than my peace of mind.
“If I want to sleep all day and drink all night, I’ll do it, damn you!”
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

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!’ ”
