Lestat

[At start and voice over] There comes a time for every vampire when the idea of eternity becomes momentarily unbearable. Living in the shadows, feeding in the darkness with only your own company to keep, rots into a solitary, hollow existence. Immortality seems like a good idea, until you realize you're going to spend it alone. So I went to sleep, hoping that the sounds of the passing eras would fade out, and a sort of death might happen. But as I lay there, the world didn't sound like the place I had left, but something different.
[rock music starts] Better. It became worthwhile to rise again as new gods were born and worshipped. Night and day, they were never alone. I would become one of them.
[feeds on pimp] Whether it was that first meal, or a hundred years of rest, I'm not sure. But suddenly I was feeling better than ever. My senses so high they led me straight to the instrument of my resurrection, playing in my old house.

Many times since then I've called for Marius, but there was no answer. Just the endless precession of days, months, years... My teacher left me to my darkest lesson, that in the end, we are alone, and there is nothing but the cold, dark wasteland of eternity.

The question provoked an irresistible urge...I am the vampire Lestat. It just rolled out of my mouth. With one simple sentence I had betrayed everything about my kind. Betrayed our code of secrecy.

I impressed my maker with my thirst for things. He set out to educate me in the unknown. Taught me all about the world, its hidden history... and about myself

My senses run amok, like a newborn child. And as for my new powers,I was beside myself with the pleasure of it all...

The faces of my victims haunted me, reminding me of my fate... For nights and nights I played, furious. Never again I would participate in the simple joys of life. I was meant for more than this.

They believed in nothing, now they are nothing. But you and I will change all that. We will give the world something to believe in.

Lestat: But I never understood until I met you.
Jessie: What do you mean?
Lestat: You’re beautiful to me because you’re human. Your frailty, your short years, your heart; even as you think it’s breaking. All that seems suddenly more precious than anything I’ve ever known.
Jessie: Not as precious as you think.

Lestat: Well, that makes you a very clever librarian, Talamascan. I knew I left that journal somewhere. So, was it a good read?

Akasha: You're bold like your music. You lived your life in the open like I did, long ago, when I had a king.
Lestat: Had a king?

Lestat: Well, I can fix that.
Jessie: Your song "Redeemer" is about the girl with the violin?
Lestat: Is it. And what else do you think you know?
Jessie: You want...
Lestat: What do I want?
Jessie: You yearn...
Lestat: What do I yearn... what do I yearn...
Jessie: To walk with the living... out of the cold dark waste land of eternity.
Lestat: Well, that makes you a very clever librarian Talamascan. I knew I left that journal somewhere.

It's definitely fun to explore that side of yourself and that side of yourself that you keep hidden in your everyday life because you know you're not supposed to go there unless it's absolutely necessary

So I was never worried about comparisons or intimidated by Tom Cruise doing this because it's like the rock 'n' roll, tongue-in-cheek version.
