“As a child, I saw this beautiful film, Dracula's Daughter, and it was with Gloria Holden and was a sequel to the original Dracula. It was all about this beautiful daughter of Dracula who was an artist in London, and she felt drinking blood was a curse. It had beautiful, sensitive scenes in it, and that film mesmerized me. It established to me what vampires werethese elegant, tragic, sensitive people. I was really just going with that feeling when writing Interview With the Vampire. I didn't do a lot of research.” PeopleWritingChildrenFeelingsBeautifulFilmArtistFeltSawsBloodSceneResearchDaughterOriginalsDrinkingLondonVampireCurseSensitiveInterviewsTragicElegantSequelsGloriaHoldenMesmerizedBeautiful Daughter Author:Anne Rice

“To be an artist it is not necessary to make a living from our creations. Nor is it necessary to have work hanging in fine museums or the praise of critics . . . To be an artist it is necessary to live with our eyes wide open, to breathe in the colors of mountain and sky, to know the sound of leaves rustling, the smell of snow, the texture of bark . . . To be an artist is to notice every beautiful and tragic thing, to cry freely, to collect experience and shape it into forms that others can share.” KnowsEyeBeautifulFormArtistSoundSkyShareCryCreationColorFineShapesMountainPraiseCriticsSmellWideBreatheSnowTragicMuseumsTextureBarkVery BeautifulEyes Wide Open Author:Jan Phillips
