Anne Rice is gracefully diplomatic, but she knows she will forever be the Queen of of the Vampires. No one else comes close.
Colette that is the best way to put Anne Rice!
Anne isn't the Queen !! She's the Empress !
She is the queen of the damned
@@stephanobarbosa5805 she IS the vaultury
Don't forget Heather Brewer

What a legend. She built up other authors instead of tearing them down. RIP AR.
Oddly coinciding with vaccination.
Not a legend, and didn't she always sue her fans for making fanfictions? And I find it disturbing that she glamourize pedophilia and incest in her vampire chronicles.
@@joann3190 right, I found it weird the first time | saw the movie that 2 older men turn a child
She made a very smart statement: " *My* vampires don't go to high school."
In one sentence she showed she is aware that Edward and Bill are other kinds of vampires that aren't linked to hers, and that there is no reason behind the comparison of the two. Her work stands by itself, as do the others', and nobody in their right mind compares apples and pears.
She was the first author to turn vampires into conflicted heroes. Before her, vampires were monsters preying on humans. Readers were supposed to be scared of Dracula and Nosferatu, but when the Vampire Chronicles came out, people started fantasising about becoming vampires themselves. Louis and Lestat were portrayed as superstars, she made them glamorous and gave them real depth of character. That's her great contribution to the genre. All these new authors are influenced by that.
imagine the eternal youth
do you like "The Hunger"? (movie with David Bowie, Catherine Deneuve...)
@@stephanobarbosa5805 I did I also liked Only Lovers left Alive. It reminded me a lot of an Anne Rice novel. In style that is.
She did not turns it into conflicted hero only favored villains . You may apply that to Louie alone or Pandora if they would really tell her story.Mostly it is about getting people to identify sympathize with the villain and excuse his or her behavior.
Have you read the books? The vampires she writes about are apathetic navel gazers at best or bloodthirsty, sadistic, manipulators at worst...
I love how graceful she was with this interview. She can aknowledge that different types of vampire stories are happening, and it's not a bad thing! Would she put hers in school? No way. But she understands why domesticating them works so well. Every author has a different vision, and just because it's not her idea doesn't make it bad. Kudos to Anne for being so classy.
Anne Rice being beautifully diplomatic
Team Lestat ALL THE WAY
Andrew Dembegiotis Me too!
YES!!!!!!!
Armond is better
Agreed no other comes close to The Brat Prince Lestat, he was the first vampire in the film adaptation that aroused my interest of the vampire mythology before I saw Interview with the vampire I found vampires to be risible generic typical clichéd movie monsters until I saw the film and read the whole series, Lestat became the vampire that I identified with when ever I here of vampires 💯
She is very gracious when speaking about other authors. Many authors have put themselves on pedestals and have attacked others about their quality of writing. I think it is up to the readers to judge. I am not fond of some of the books out there and feel their subject matter is distasteful plus consider them poorly written. I have peers who think otherwise. It is a good thing there is enough material out there for all of us to read what we like.
miss Pamela Kullo Egelton thinks for the coplmamet i am a author myself the truth is its not easy has you think i been writeing since 2010 i got five books three involing vampires first fansty second a paramnormal romance thriid the prequel to it about two side chacters
I love the Harris series and true blood. Anne is Queen though. Twilight I loathe...
You didn't internet in the early 2000s did you Anne Rice was anything but gracious when it came to fanfics and critics of her work and was quick to litigate. She's since toned it down but it was pretty insufferable...
YEAH, UNTIL THEY BAN THOSE BOOKS TOO- OR PICK UP BURNING BOOKS BECAUSE OF THE IDEAS OF WHATS INSIDE ISN'T "RIGHT"... AND NO I'M NOT SHOUTING, IT'S JUST EASIER FOR ME TO CATCH SPELLING MISTAKES WHEN THE LETTER ARE ALL CAPED- JUST SAYING.
The world needs more negativity. She ought to have dumped on other authors rather than praised them. Well, too late now.
R.I.P Anne Rice. Your novels are trully revoluctionary .
Twilight took one of the most terrifying monsters in folklore, and turned it into Dawson's Creek.
I agree that Twilight isn't the best compared to Anne Rice. I hated Edward's seemingly immature and pathetic nature but the vampires in that universe are terrifying if you think about it. Humans have no defense against them and are helpless to stop a vampire if they are chosen as their victim. At least Anne Rice took pity on the humans in her books.
I’m living for this description!
Now that’s an insult to Dawson’s Creek 😂😂
@Red Triangle: the best statement ever concerning this subject 👌👍
YES!!! So true , and now those kids have turned the Mafia into romance novels.
Team Lestat forever! 👑🍷
That's because Anne Rice is a class act to the very core. There isn't a single reason not to like this gentlewoman.
LOVE Anne's reaction to the host saying "... lemme show you how to do werewolves.' in relation to Twilight. Cracked me right up, she was speechless and I am sure we all thought, 'yup.' I read The Wolf Gift and fell in love with her writing all over again. I heard the 2nd may be coming out in October... can't wait for it.
She’s so humble
Anne Rice don't worry even how many vampire characters spring up nowadays, I will surely assure you that I will eternally choose and put your vampires up in the top of my list.. nobody can beat them!
Except dracula and nasferatu
Anne Rice is the Queen of the Vampire novels,Twilight and True Blood author's should pay homage to her.
She pays homage to Bram stoker and recognizes that Dracula and Dracula's daughter laid the foundation our pivotal towards opening the door the type of work she does
True blood does pay homage to her works a bit, the author of twilight is a bit of a snob though....
Charlene Harris (True Blood) and LJ Smith (The Vampire Diaries) pay homage to her. The other one is a different story. She’s a snob.
I love her I love how she's respectful of other artists. Anne I do love other vampire/supernatural aspect books but you're forever the Queen
She is right! She asked the perfect question, Where is Lestat's team!!! Who ares about Bill and Edward when you have vampires like Lestat! >.<
Love Anne Rice the most! True Blood may have vivid (raunchy) characters but Rice’s depiction of a character’s flaws, even (especially) a vampire’s flaws, is great.
Read the books, the tv show does not do justice to true blood, it's still raunchy but it's a lot tamer and the characters are way more interesting.
clearly you haven't seen True Blood, let alone read the books
the tv show extensively depicts character's flaws including vampire's flaws, there are constant plotlines surrounding flaws and backstories of characters which make the characters complex and morally grey since they do some good deeds and also some bad deeds and are often faced with moral dilemmas
Rest in Peace, you wonderful woman.
damn.. she is soooo polite and classy.. I would have put Twilight down if I were in her place.. with mentioning that indeed domesticated vampires in high-school is a stroke of genius in business.. all those full of angst teenagers are a easy prey market..
but still.. she is lovely and still for those who are careful can see the subtile hints there... she is a genius and a realy clasy woman.. love her and love the book:X
Rest In Eternity Anne Rice
My Favorite Vampire's Are Lestat and Louis, the Vampire Chronicles are Everything. Anne Rice is An Amazing Arther
I love how she's not hating on it, see? That's how cultured people behave. Now, I would love to see her reaction to What We Do In The Shadows, both the movie and TV show 😂 and how Guillermo wants to become like Armand (Antonio Banderas)
From where we all come we must all return. Rest in your peace Ms. Rice. You now know what awaits us all. 🥺😢😢
I'd bet money Stephanie Meyer's would agree..... the vampire Lestat.
Clint Ronnow as if the whole “tortured soul” thing didn’t come from Rice’s characterization to begin with. Yes, I agree that Lestat is why Meyer or Harris have the lead vampire as such an inward, reflective person.
Interview with the Vampire, was an Iconic piece of Literature, she basically single-handedly revived the Gothic Horror Romance Novel! Her work is a great deal like Mary Shelley Wollstonecraft. Frankenstein, is never adequately done justice in any of the movies, but, a little secret, The Incredible Hulk, is Frankenstein. Hulk looks like the Monster, but, in the Novel, he doesn't have some muscles even covered over, with skin, and Frankenstein's Monster, is highly intelligent, and speaks.
I know! It's crazy how it was rejected 5 times before getting published! She said that in an interview. But her tenacity got it published and the rest is history.
I've never watched True Blood. I've seen Interview with the Vampire (1994) 50 times.
the last great vampire movie
Try the books, they are much better then the show ever was! But don't disregard it outright without reading the first 3 chapters at least.
and you wear that as a badge of honor? seeks of immaturity
i remember downloading twilight and watching it then falling a sleep in the afternoon after i saw the vampire was in a fucking school..
I am a huge Anne Rice fan, and I must say Yes she is an Original Vampire Author, if it was not for her vampires you would not have Edward, Bill, or even the vampire d, she is the one that made vampires beautiful and wanting, there is a whole lot of information and documentry about her and how they say "She is the one that made A vampire look beautiful".
Love her and miss her so much already. Her stories, her imagination, absolutely brilliant.
Anne Rice, I love you so much
Rest In Peace you wonderful lady. I hope you are with your daughter and husband 🕊
'Let me show you how to do Werewolfs!!! -Anne Rice
I will forever be envious of her! just a genius
i used to own a first edition copy of interview. wish i still had it.
"Domesticating vampires by putting them in high school."
I'll try to slide this sentence to a casual conversation.
All authors say this… the story unfolds for them, the characters tell them what to do. I find that interesting.
Really enjoyed Anne Rices books ! Started with the witching hour and followed them all fabulous ! X
I LOVE her laugh about showing Twilight how to do werewolves.
I'm going to need a movie about the Mayfair witches stat!
I emailed her and she emailed me and we had a great discussion about one [particular book and it was actually HER not an assistant, she’s wonderful to chat to!
My favourite character in true blood is Eric but I would choose Bill over Edward any day
i cant stand the notion of domesticated sparkly glampires
Yup team Eric over Bill. And Twilight would have survived sparkly vampires if only it hadn’t focused on Bella Swan! and been more edgy instead of angsty. Like if the story had been Alice’s it would have been sooooo much better.
Anne Rice I want to meet you. I love you.
In Queen of the Damned Lestat mentioned he can go in to uncontrollable fits of laughter I think I saw it in Anne's face there towards the end of the video 😆💙
I like that she is kind about twilight. It doesn't hold a candle to her books, but it doesn't need to. We already have her books. I would like to see a darker story within the twilight universe though. The Cullens and the Denali clan are the only vegetarians mentioned. How terrifying would the others be? They have almost no weaknesses and they are as cruel as any other vampire from other stories.
Rest in peace, queen
Definitely a cool lady. RIP Anne.
I read vampire chronicles like 20 years ago. And recently I began to listen to the audio books while I drive and do chores around the house.
I've been listening to Lestat and Louis meeting each other after so many years over an over! I haven't been able to continue the story! hahaha That part is so superb!!!
And of course, I loved reading about Marius!!
Have you ever listened to her "Sleeping Beauty" erotica trilogy? 😈
su rostro no ha cambiado sigue siendo hermosa
I wonder what she would had said about the Vampire Diaries 😄
Though there is one scene I liked which was when Damon put away the book "Twilight", shook his head and said
"I miss Anne Rice".
Good taste, Damon, good taste! 😄
Vampires don't sparkle, vampires bite!
Ain't sticking up for twilight or nothing but they are mythical it's however the author portrays them
@@edwardditmarjr3959
Exactly
It was an honour to have met Anne during a book signing at Harvard in 1992.
I will so miss her
There's no need to compare and criticize Charlaine Harris and Stephanie Meyer. There writing weaknesses have been highlighted all over the internet. Anne Rice's style is not without critics. What most successful novelists have in common is that they know how to create a great story and drive the story to a satisfactory climax and completion. Style is important, but never important as story and pacing. I think of Dan Brown. I'm sure a college writing teacher could mark up his manuscripts for copious style errors, but people love his stories.
Eh? Stephanie Meyer kinda deserves the harsher critiques, from what I remember she was very much self centered and thinks her poop don't stink, I otherwise agree with you when it comes to charlaine harris.
You really got her to shine. Laughter is king.
that was actually a very mature take on it :] nice
Anne rice was such a great writer she’s kind of my writing hero. Sorry to hear she’s gone. Love her style. My mother was a hopelessly bad writer. The anne rice vampires were the best by far. better than bram stoker. She was a brilliant woman. So much bad writing out there it makes you love the good writers more.
THANK YOU!!!!!
Vampire diaries and Twilight have NOTHING on Anne Rice.
brilliant interview ... the writer proves to be beyond all expectations ironic ... as in the end are lestat and Louis .... the irony of not getting old in an aging world
Can't wait for the new book Prophecy of a vampire comes out. Looks so good!
Thankyou!!!
she's such a great person 8D
damn i love her, saw her tonight at the reference library :D shes so funny
She was a genius!!!!
Long live Anne Rice!
Wow Anne Rice doing a werewolf novel. A must read.
Oh I love Anne rice! I’d just love to meet her.
Lovely and wonderful.
If i were a vampire aged 500 years and seen the world and knew a lot... And being immortal.. Why the fuck i would wanna go to school.
Anne is so beautiful!
Omg to find out ann was a fan of charlene harris and true blood too has me fan girling for her even more
The Lady had class and grace, she could have been disparaging towards other Vampire fiction, but she didnt. She appeared to appreciate other writers Vampire- lore.
I love her vampires. Classy
omg she is so awesome
lestat forever!! anne rice is a truebie!!! yay!!!
She’s admirable
I do agree. The reason why we have Bill and Eric is because of Lestat and Louis her orginal good and evil vamps, Lestat would kill Edward and bill, with one finger.
Hard to believe she's 71
Oh come on... To go back to Bram Stokerr just proves that this amazing woman changed the game. She recreated the modern vampire decades ago. and if you can't give her that, somethings wrong with you. lol Her books opened the genre to the mainstream and started the whole fixation, we still have,to this day, with vampires. If not her who? Bram Stoker? thats a little remote not to take anything away from him. I love ANNE
Yay she liked True Blood too ☺
Now off the record Anne
Love Vampire Diaries & TB(: yum.
Anne Rice is the MASTER.
Bravo!
I love the Anne Rice Vampires. I also love True Blood, and Bill Compton is my fav vampire :)
yeah, but True Blood is still better than Twilight!
anne rice is a trubie!!
ya!! love it!!! vampire chronicles and true blood forever!!
Across several videos I’ve seen, I don’t think some of the comments meant it this way but they make Anne Rice sound smug. I think she’s just a humble person who recognizes a book that she doesn’t enjoy but is a fresh take on the supernatural/vampires for a younger audience. She is diplomatic, but I don’t think that makes her smug. And also, her books are her babies so of course they may reign over all other supernatural/vampire books to her. Just my opinion.
Ann Rice was the queen of the vampires. If you really look at Vampire Diaries, True Blood, Twilight they all draw from The Vampire Chronicles in some form or another.
Rip Anne rice
This is awesome! Anne Rice doing vampires? :)
i'd stand with Bill. i cannot stand domesticated sparkly glampires.
Im sorry am I the only that thought that the way the wolves were created in Twilight were VERY MUCH THE SAME as how the vampires came to be in Anne Rice's Queen Of The Damned????
When The Vampire Chronicles finishes I might spend a time in the earth
I miss her 😖
This reminds me of a seen from trueblood
@kronker I don't remember the vampires being in high school, although Buffy was. Maybe I'm not remembering correctly.
Buffy was a vampire slayer
R.I.P anne rice
