Meredith’s Reviews > Interview with the Vampire > Status Update

Lestat: You are like an adult who, looking back on childhood, realizes he never appreciated it. You cannot, as a man, go back to the nursery and play with your toys, asking for love and care to be showered on you again simply because now you know their worth.

Lestat to Louis: 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.
Me: Lestat's telling it like it is.

Louis: Evil is always possible. And goodness is eternally difficult.

This has been on my re-read list for ages.

Since I read this book first, I'm finding it interesting how the narrator emphasizes and interprets things differently than I did while reading.

I can't help comparing Simon Vance's Lestat to Tom Cruise's performance in the film adaptation.
