Quotes:
|
-
Lestat: Your body's dying. Pay no attention.
-
Armand: The world changes, we do not, there lies the irony that finally kills us.
-
Lestat: Evildoers are easier, and they taste better.
-
Lestat: Evil is a point of view. God kills indiscriminately and so shall we. For no creatures under God are as we are, none so like him as ourselves.
-
Louis: Vampires pretending to be humans, pretending to be vampires.
Claudia: How avant-garde!

Trivia:
|
- River Phoenix was cast as The Interviewer, but died before filming began. Leonardo DiCaprio was approached to play his role, but Christian Slater eventually got the part and donated all of his earnings from the film to Phoenix' favorite charities.
- The river scenes were done by removing such modern items as the Greater New Orleans Bridge and radio towers and replacing them with 18th century sailing vessels in post-production.
- Johnny Depp was offered the role of Lestat.
- Many buildings and street lights were darkened for the filming by agreement with the companies and the city. The set was immediately torn down after the filming.. The Victorian house that inspired Anne Rice's novel on which this film is based is located at 503 Divisadero Street near Alamo Square in San Francisco.
- Christina Ricci auditioned for the role of Claudia.
