Rest in peace Anne, you will be dearly missed.

[@kaleeyoung-vb1ds]

Yeah I keep forgetting she's dead until I read something like this

[@Badusername2000]

Goth legend, she is dearly missed

[@aemcapello]

"Pain can destroy you , but if you can survive it, you're going to be better for it. [However,] that doesn't justify it." Somehow i feel comforted (and inspired) by these words from her. I have heard many versions of it before, but when the right person says them out loud, they have a real and meaningful impact. Thank you so much for this interview.

[@GraveyardShift-tl6ri]

i hate how much interviewers interrupt authors like LET THEM FINISH OMG

[@johndediu6892]

Exactly, very rude and inconsiderate. I think I might've lost it and flipped

[@Pschychotically]

She's so knowledgable and has not really aged. Maybe... this is an interview with a vampire, too. LOL :D

[@haste4002]

Love it =D

[@TimmysCreativeCelebrationHub]

She certainly dresses the part plus has the intellect as well.

[@sierrag.1069]

Rest in Peace Anne Rice, incredible writer, intriguing life, and creator of life-changing literature.

[@jx3821]

I like how she's dressed like one of her characters

[@TimmysCreativeCelebrationHub]

Her wardrobe is spectacular! She's like a female Lestat.

[@rekamerc87]

Anne Rice is a very intelligent and talented writer. I'm glad to know you.

[@autumnmcgarry1123]

this man really just could not let her get a word in! I would have loved to hear what she had to say those times when he cut her off.

[@angelnunnart]

He does that with everyone 😐

[@goldiesincity8005]

Anne Rice always reminds me of a teacher I had , she's so down to earth most book writers are weird. But she's so normal .

[@marias7599]

About going to the cemeteries...I used to do that when I lived in France, they’re just too interesting. Particularly the cemetery of Montparnasse in Paris. Too many interesting, historic characters buried there. I was never afraid. It was almost as meditation to me going for walks there lol

[@coolpeoplethings]

😄

[@_noahrh]

I read Interview with a vampire years ago, and then just read Cry To Heaven. Both incredible, powerful and immersive stories. I watched 3+ hours of these interviews and was so sad to hear about her passing just as I saw starting to learn about her personally. Her books are on another level. Thank you Anne!

[@jacquelinestigman6432]

So glad to have found these videos of Anne Rice! What a treasure trove! She is so passionate about her characters, about writing, and so supportive of new writers. I especially enjoyed the live interviews done in a lovely room in her home. Though I couldn't take part as they were done several years ago. I will look of her facebook page. Thank you Anne Rice!

[@audreymay9378]

What a beautiful smile and personality

[@tyleryoung2302]

Anne Rice has been my spirit animal since I read her first book

[@TimmysCreativeCelebrationHub]

She's really classy. *I love her dress sense....almost vampire esq*

[@sunnyhoney5803]

As an avid reader I have enjoyed these books and the family feeling when you read the books.Ann ,you are a talented lady and the topic pertains to vampires etc and the chill of the spooky novel is not all.,,,it is your talent Ann if making the characters larger than the book.we ,the readers have come to know them as large as life and this is in my opinion a great gift you have and. Have given us.i have lost myself in your books during this covert 19 shutdown and it’s made my life easier.A good novel goes a long way!Fellow readers who have tugged out the old fav’ books by Ann and read them again ..send her a hello.Stay safe everyone.we love vampires but hate carona!

[@angelnunnart]

I Absolutely love her writing style. I've almost finished the queen of damned and I love the story. I Heard of her passing, such ashame cause she was a fantastic woman. May she rest in peace xxx

[@jerrysotelo5770]

I love hearing her back round and thinking about how it plays into the themes of her stories

[@RAVENMoonTarot]

She is a great author

[@rrain21]

Rest in peace Anne

[@MarkGunnells]

Lasher was the first of her books I bought new in hardcover.

[@joshwilley3173]

I love how she writes and the way she describes things, it's very unique

[@thomasfranche6770]

She hardly talked about Lasher or The Witching Hour. That's what I wanted to hear.

[@coolpeoplethings]

I love her. She’s very smart & I love her books. 🖤🖤

[@clairepeace5783]

When I visited America I went to New Orleans and saw a building dedicated to Anne Rice x fabulous author up there with the best x and not just the vampire stories x I think if I’m not wrong The Witching hour x

[@screaming_in_lowercase]

I didn’t even know her personally, but i still miss her.

[@Choices2aa]

Anne Rice was amazing writer and she loved her characters so much and that she was thrilled to bits when they did Interview With A Vampire but she didn't want Tom Cruise as Lestat and then she saw the movie and she praised Tom Cruise and his perfomance and Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise clashed on the set of that movie and Kirsten Dunst rose to fame playing Claudia and she was invited to Anne Rice's Memnoch Ball in 1995. I really hope Kirsten Dunst wins an oscar for The Power Of The Dog and she had a gift and she was great in Interview With A Vampire and Little Women Jumanji Bring It On, Funny that Brad Pitt has an oscar and Tom Cruise doesnt' and Nicole Kidman has an oscar and she might win another one for being the Ricardos. Anne Rice wrote so many books and she will be missed.

[@joerogan3145]

You live on in our hearts Anne 💗

[@dinosaurfartsforever]

I find it so fascinating that Tom cruise was the one who left a lasting impression on me, and i could have done without brad pitt’s performance. I can’t even imagine the feeling of creating and being so involved with a character for that long, only to not be happy about a directors pick of your main hero. So much admiration for her grace.

[@angelnunnart]

I think brad Pitt is underated in interview with the vampire. I think he did a very good job portraying the Louis from the books.

[@angelvisions444]

Rest In Peace Anne, we miss you - gone too soon xxx

[@Dragasen]

Jesus can this guy interrupt her more? It's like 20+ years later but good lord, so many times she's about to say something interesting and he just interjects.

[@IndiGeaux]

Anne Rice is living forever in her written words. I love you, Anne. ♥️

[@apollosungod2819]

She never said "she didn't want Tom Cruise as Lestat", she said she could not picture him as the character. That's a big difference because she was not a casting director nor film producer and her novel wad being adapted and compressed to fit into a one shot film at a time when the proposal of making film trilogies or even harder, more than three consecutive films being made under some pre-planned schedule with the same actors for theater releases was just not even easy for the average or above average film makers to actually do. Only Francis F. Coppola, Martin Scorsese, George Lucas, Steven Spielberg and a FEW other film makers were ever able to secure contracts and actors and scripts, and etcetera... Most people just don't understand why it's difficult to make a series of films... the first one has to be successful and well received in terms of profits... the sequels have to follow but so does the production process... I feel that after George Lucas managed to successfully complete the Prequel Trilogy, followed by Peter Jackson managing to successfully complete the LoTR film Trilogy (with a pre-planned EXTENDED director's cut with more scene time) and then finally the Harry Potter and Twilight film series also managing to be fairly successful that most people just assume it IS easy to make such films, especially where special effects are required (oh yeah the Fast n Furious series too) so the older movies get taken for granted in a way because the special effects managed to work with everything else. As good as say Ghostbusters film was, it wasn't that simple to just make a continuous successful sequel because often the film makers do not know how audiences will react. Which explains why recent decades films have lost their edge (or most of them) because now there is a type of canned formula being followed instead of risk taking older film makers and novel writers who's books were adapted... Ideally Anne Rice's vampire chronicles could have been prepared for a multi year film series production process... the issue isn't really the big names associated with the first film, it's that the film producers chose the successful sales novel first as a logical choice... Plus Studios have to back these films too... I love how she said that her novel was turned down by publishers, because those who turned her down didn't understand her work, probably felt a certain way or just didn't want to give her the opportunity and risk of book reader reception where those publishers might have believed they were right but then were finally proven wrong when another publisher signed her up... It's a similar story to George Lucas actually going to Disney film studios first under his belief in the early 1970s that Disney had the financial budget, the imagination and all the other raw tools needed but the Disney film bosses basically laughed at George Lucas like his single film project was never gonna work and iirc they even told him so... Leading to George Lucas building his own film studio and 20th Century Fox being the only ones to back him... then prove Disney films wrong... then decades later with toxic fans lashing at George Lucas, he leaves his work for Disney... and lol... There's a moral in there somewhere.

[@natew5593]

This would be a lovely interview w Rice if my man would just keep his mouth shut and quit talking over her.

[@Dragasen]

Right? What an obnoxious interviewer. He keeps finishing her sentences like he's summing up things she hasn't even said. At some points she even corrects him what he's guessing at

[@robertcrusher1972]

Charlie Rose always bothered me, because he did this so much and for so many years. This pace of conversation in real life isn’t an issue but his style, I someways found obnoxious

[@erdemmemisyazici3950]

I always thought Claudia had elements from herself and not necessarily her daughter who passed away. Fascinating interview.

[@liamrodgers48]

Oh it's so wonderful to hear her talk about all of this, haha when he asks what is it about Lestat that makes you want to be like him, errmm everything?

[@SpadaFer]

The interviewer goes nuts about the sex topic, but actually, the sex books of anne rice are quite a thing, i don't think i have the right words to describe them but those books gave to the reader something priceless and profound more like a giff but mostly the most 🤣 A UNDERSTANDING OF THE HUMANS AND HISTORY AND POWER.

This guy is such a dweeb. And he never let’s her speak, constantly cuts her off just as she is beginning to explore a topic and likely about to say something brilliant.

Hollywood solipsism. Konstantinos told us that the bat of the Vampire myth is a Hollywood myth. As well Anne Rice had told us that the eating of the blood would be a sensual orgastic experience. Well, that was another Hollywood myth, as if it wasn't superior the Vampire.

It was very sad that Rice returned to christianity after being an atheist and such a great genius horror, gothic and erotic writer. I think she did it because Christ, God and church really sales.
