Anne Rice is a fascinating fascinating human being. I love listening to her point of view on things.

I wish she had immortality, I think her best books are yet to come. She reminds me of a teenager (that's not an insult; I mean she seems so open and progressive) still in this video in some way. I am proud to say I have her book in my collection. The Witching Hour.

"We are the monsters." I love that she draws that line to Mary Shelley's Frankenstein so directly & clearly. Surprised that she didn't read it until the '90's, and pleased! Just underlines the mythic quality of the theme of "the monster within" even more. It's a big part of what I love so much about Dexter, too.

@id7701 It isn't a snub. In the case of some of her bisexual characters, such as her vampires, you can't really say that they're gay or bisexual. They have simply transcended simple lust for a specific gender and find beauty in everything, including the varying sexes.

I remember seeing Stephen Kings, Salem's Lot as teenie bopper on tv. Barlow the main vampire scared the hell out of me with recurring nightmares, years later. To me he was a pure, very powerful, ruthless psychopathic killer. I was too freaked out to read the book !

Mary Shelley was a genius. Frankenstein is such a deep story, and to come up with it as a teenager?

Personally I would love to see 'Tale of the Body Thief' made into a motion picture. Although technically it is still considered a part of 'The Vampire Chronicles', it has an originality of it's own to do very well at the theaters,of course as long as it can stay true to the novel. David is one of my favorite characters, besides The Vampire Lestat. The dialogue between every character is the best! You know, Tarantino might actually be able to pull this movie off...hmm....

I don't think it's a snub, but I also used to think why can't we have heterosexual vampires Anne? now that I've read cheesy romance between a male vampire and a human girl like twilight, I think I prefer bisexual vampires, the chronicle is about companionship not romance, it transcends gender and sexuality, it's deeper than heterosexual relationship driven by sexual desires and procreation.

Anne Rice is An Amazing Arther, I've been so Obsessed with the Vampire Chronicles Lestat and Louis so Much that I wanted them to be real.

anna rice was a fantastic & great author. may god rest the soul of anna rice

Adore you Anne, my Idol, and author inspiration, I am a young aspiring author, and you're art of literature inspires me everyday, the films capture your phenomenal expertise of words and scripture. I love the emotion, passion, depression, and heartbreak of every scene, a true Idol. With real Empathy for the characters, they wouldn't be known to me or others as we know the, without your words surrounding them, inspiration.

And don't forget that these creatures of darkness are also drop dead stunningly gorgeous! Please excuse the pun!

You are so brilliant!

I just love her....

totally in love with this woman just brilliant

Barnabas in Dark Shadows was a tragic hero.

Oh, this is priceless.

@Anne rice

LOVE these videos, Anne! Good job, Mr. B!

Anne rice both role's that tom and brad played as Lestat and louie are indeed real vampire's my name is Jon

Anne, I think the answer to your question about how monotheism could pretty much wipe out polytheism lies in the "conversion" of Constantine and the Council of Nicea. At least that's where I'm dancing with the same question.

Anne, I was wondering if Interview with the Vampire will be followed by a CORRECT sequel relating to your material? For years I have always been on the look out to see when The Vampire Lestat will be adapted into a film, or The Vampire Armand, or Memnoch the Devil. That would be a dream come true to your readers to see the oh so wonderful Lestat, Louis, Armand, Mekere, and Daniel Malloy come to life and continue their journey before our eyes.

Anne, by chance, have you heard of Vampire the Masquerade by White Wolf Publishing? its a role-playing game that was along with others, inspired by your novel. Interview with the Vampire en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mind%27s_Eye_Theatre

I don’t understand how 3 people disliked this video.

@id7701 Get over yourself. It's hot, when she writes about two women in her women? I think it adds to her charchters. Read the witching hour. . . when poor Charlotte seduces her father. . . and she get pregnant. I think their bisexuality is amazing and makes them very real and relatable. Heterosexual guys only like women, these aren't guys they're vampires. Does it bother you when a woman speaks about a man too?

perpetrator of a crime does not suffer,a knowledge victims dismiss It not. narcissistic? Change subject.soar winners hush.

you're gay.. you should have been able to process that by now and love yourself. we are all bi. it's part of the human blueprint. plus you have a lot fear. let that go. always remember the 2 most basic human emotions are fear and trust. pick one.
