Anne Rice

"You do have a story inside you; it lies articulate and waiting to be written — behind your silence and your suffering."

"Merciful death. How you love your precious guilt"

"Would that death were like this. Would that one would sleep and sleep and sleep forever."

"First-person narrators is the way I know how to write a book with the greatest power and chance of artistic success."

"I was good and bad, but never wicked."
