G.O.B.: So you came back here to hide like a child.
Michael: What are you doing locked in my office, exactly?
G.O.B.: Hiding from a child. Big difference.
Episode 3×02 “For British Eyes Only
Louis is hiding from Claudia, obviously.

Michael: Tell me the truth, okay? ‘Cause there’s been a lot of lying in this family.
Lucille: And a lot of love.
Michael: More lies.
Let ‘Em Eat Cake [1.22]
So, we were walking down Royal Street one morning and stopped to listen to
this muscianMitch playing a sweet, bluegrassy tune on his bazouki. He was really good and we listened for a couple minutes when this lovely white mule stops whilethe driverCindy points out something to her fare. Lestat the mule, though, he’s is listening to the music, really caught up in it, sothe muscianMitch smiles and changes the tune, singing asong about a mule‘Mule Train’ tothe muleLestat who you can see has his ears back and his eyes closed in obvious pleasure. It wasnt a long moment or anything, but it was a really good one. 🙂Maybe mulishmusings can name the mule (and the driver and the muscian?) for us?
Why yes, yes I can do all three. The mule is Lestat, his driver is Cindy, and the musician is Mitch and I’d lay even money that he was playing Mule Train. Lestat and Cindy work for Mid-City Carriages, she lives on the next block from me. I’ve known Mitch and his partner Stella for years now.
New Orleans, the smallest big city you’ll ever see.
Thank you, darlin’! – Fixed it. 🙂 We looked for you, but you know how it is. I have a load of mule shots, though, so keep an eye out for more naming. Mitch was wonderful…we stood there a good while listening.
BTW, my VC loveleis – there is another white mule called Claudia. I have an older pic of them pulling a carriage in tandem.
Must be one of the rare times post-assassination-attempt that Lestat and Claudia can be seen getting along *u*
They were. My mule driver Tumblr friend sai that they are both sweet-natured and get along well which is sort of funny considering the names. I shall find the pic and post it, probably tomorrow.

George Michael: She’s kind of my girlfriend.
Michael: Her?
Episode 2×03 “¡Amigos!”
My new pick-up line is “I will literally murder all men except you you will be my boyfriend.” Worked for Akasha.
#Awkward gender politics in your vampire novel
#I can only describe what Lestat wears in this movie as the male version of Leia’s slave bikini
^THIS, ALL OF THIS
Lucille: If you’re saying I play favorites, you’re wrong. I love all my children equally.
Cutaway: earlier that day…
Lucille: I don’t care for G.O.B.
Episode 1×01 “Pilot”
He also doesn’t care much for what’s-his-face (Antoine?). The guy who brings him babies to eat when he’s a wreck. I like that guy a lot because he’s sassy, and anyone who gives Lestat and Louis shit is a friend of mine. Probably why I like Armand so much.
Michael: Why are you squeezing me with your body?
Lucille: It’s a hug, Michael; I’m hugging you.
Episode 1×20 “Whistler’s Mother”
vampiredevelopment: #Playing the piano with ominous undertones #Bad Parenting #IT’S A TRAP #Lestat #Claudia #interview with the vampire #Vampire Chronicles #Arrested Development #Whose idea was it to put taxidermied birds on top of a piano I bet Lestat’s
^YES to these tags… so I have thoughts about Lestat’s taxidermied birbs in IWTV….
- A stuffed animal is one that won’t wriggle or try to escape, you can pick it up and examine it’s little toes and feathers and beak and flick it in the head and basically it is the highest form of submission that a creature can be in. Lestat does like it when creatures submit to him.
- Notice, later on, that Louis and Claudia set a pair of canaries free right before they intend to leave NOLA. The caged canaries are in the same spot on the piano that the taxidermy birds were.
- There are 2 canaries in that cage, symbolic of Louis and Claudia escaping their own gilded cage.
- The taxidermied birds were birds of prey (hawks I think?) but the canaries were not.
- Taxidermied birds were in separate glass enclosures. Lestat was always in a separate glass enclosure in that he couldn’t reveal to Louis and Claudia the answers to their questions because SECRETS.
- It looks like, at least in this shot, that there are 2 HUGE birds of prey and 1 TEENSY one… underscoring the size difference between the Adult size vampires and the Kiddie size vampire. Though maybe I’m counting wrong, there seems to be more than 3 glass enclosures but WHATEVER.
Michael: Why are you squeezing me with your body?
Lucille: It’s a hug, Michael; I’m hugging you.
Episode 1×20 “Whistler’s Mother”
Maggie: I never thought I’d meet someone like you. But come on. I mean, do you still really want me? Are you really that great of a guy?
Narrator: Michael had always thought of himself as that great a guy. The kind of guy who could raise someone else’s baby.
Michael: Of course I am.
Narrator: But he wasn’t, and he regretted it the moment he said it.
Episode 2×012 “Hand to God”
PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: Passive-aggressively ignoring someone until they leave you, disgusted and on the verge of suicide, is not being a good boyfriend.
PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT 2: Armand is the best character in the series no matter what anyone else, including and especially Anne Rice, says.
i ❤ Antonio Bandaras as Armand.
I love him too and I will defend him 5ever.
G.O.B: I’ve made a huge tiny mistake.
Episode 3×01 “The Cabin Show”
“I’ve made a huge mistake” might as well be Lestat’s catchphrase.
Lindsay: Oh really? What did he say? What was the last thing he said?
Flashback
Tobias: I just blue myself.
End flashback
Michael: He said some wonderful things.
”The One Where Michael Leaves” Episode 2×01
Edited slightly to accommodate Louis’s quote (page 31 of the Interview mass market if you want that.)
I re-read Interview recently after about ten years, and I forgot how every other line in that book is an absolute gem of Louis being ridiculous.
