  • The guy who is interviewing just looks gross...She's too refined to even conversate with him yuck!

  • Love Anne Rice

  • The clock is ticking! Tomorrow is not promised to us. The end is nearing. Repent of your sin and believe the gospel of Jesus Christ least you pay your own sin debt. "... it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment" (Hebrews 9:27). "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8). My friend, "God ... now commandeth all men every where to repent" (Acts 17:30). Its 12:37 AM. Seek Him while He can be found .

  • pretty pretty please put armand in your new books i miss him

  • One of the reasons i love Claudia so much is because she's based off of her daughter who died. She seems more real to me then the other charicters

  • The interviewer is a goofball, and the editing sucks! lol

  • She writes blasphemy for Jesus. I see a contradiction, as a Christian she never will.

  • @Planerian-How so? Could you clarify this? I see Ms. Rice as an articulate, intelligent woman who truly has a heart for God and a desire to live for God and not for the world.

  • @Planerian Blasphemy is a victimless crime.

  • I hope one day she CAN really accomplish this Lestat/ Christian book. I mean most of the Vampire Chronicles already have that concept of finding religion and meaning of life.

  • this dude just needs shut up and let her talk... what a goof ball

  • The interviewer wont shut the HELL up. LET ANNE TALK

  • I can see why she says it might be difficult to pull it off but I beleave in both Lestat and Anne and I think it CAN work out and I bet it's going to work out beautifly. I may not be christian myself but I think itwould be a wonderful closure for him ad if not well then we can always just use our imagination. it's healthy isn't it

  • its 2010 and the "last book" of the Vampire Lestat still didnt come out !!!!!!

    whats wrong with the interviewer btw ??

  • ugh... her books on gay vampires made her rich. and now she's thinking about getting lestat saved?? ridiculous. don't ruin a good thing anne.

  • @toribjork10 - Lestat getting "saved" isn't such an offbeat direction for him. Lestat de Lioncourt had always questioned redemption, his actions and the existence of God in the books, and it is no surprise he might find his way to understanding and salvation, just like the author that conceived him. She's a great writer, she won't ruin it.

  • @emmthreejonny-- Part1 Are you kidding? Lestat getting saved won't ruin the vampire chronicles... Anne Rice already ruined Lestat in the Memnoch the Devil... and blood canticle was the nail in the coffin. I hope Rice won't waste her time on it. Lets have a little recap shall we. After Memnoch the Devil, Lestat went a tad nutty, talking to himself, that he had to be locked up. Lestat kept telling himself, "I don't believe it!" "Its a lie!!!" "its not true!!". This is the start of the madness...

  • Part2- Then in blood canticle Lestat has changed. Where's all the talk of goodness from The Vampire Lestat? Where's the questioning? Where's the searching and angst? Lestat becomes fanatical, engrossed with blind faith. He believed everything he saw in Memnoch the Devil, as we see in Blood Canticle. That is not maturing, it's giving up. It takes away some of the humanness of the character that now he's certain what the fabric of the universe is made of.

  • Part3- Lestat has lost faith in the goodness of humanity, that secular innocence that he went on about in The Vampire Lestat novel that drew me in. He now believes that the world is full of sin?... Lestat has become very superficial, something alien that I can't relate to. Lestat literally has gone mad. Its sad. I didn't love Lestat for his blond hair or the pale skin. I loved the personality.. and now its gone. Let you rest in peace Lestat. We will always remember how you were.

  • Bravo!!!

  • I wish she could move on... A Pentecostal Church, it would be amazing to experience the true love of God and the Holy Spirit in her life!

    I'm praying for you!

  • Come on Ann what happened?

  • I love this woman! She is a REAL Christian; the kind Jesus would WANT to be his follower.

  • It could be a sequel to memnoch the devil how lestat escaped from the wrath of the devil and now experiances the love of god!

    IT would be fantastic!

  • Oh I really do hope she writes Lestat again it would be wonderful if Lestat find his faith!

  • She now says it won't happen though.

  • i know , I don't mind really , I cant wait to read Angel Time <3 , I dont mind how she finished the vampire chronicles at all :)

  • The discussion of homosexuality bothers me, I do wonder what she now thinks of her son's life as he is an out gay. Anne Rice's former work was always very homo-erotic, as well as her beautiful, Sleeping Beauty Adult Erotica Stories.

  • This statement is retarded and homophiobic. Get a life.

  • Comment removed

  • im verry sorry i didnt post this apparently meh mum did and she admits to it she accidently posted this while she was on meh account thanks about replying otherwise i wouldent know about this and again im very very sorry

  • uhmm stfu shes not a babbling idiot shes is still anne rice she found god who cares she still is brilliant and a great writer so stfu dont diss her you faggots shes still anne rice like shut up

  • I love Anne Rice. I'm not a Christian myself, but I would still love to give her new books a chance too.

  • Such great writings.... and she threw her genius away for a rosary and a Jesus cookie.

  • Sorry I dont live on this site so I didn't know you had responded. I know my posts seem harsh and argumentative but im at a crisis myself. All I get is negativity and judgement concerning my boy so I react accordingly. Your bible quotes... a question for you if you will. Isnt it possible that those scriptures were intended for what was going on at the time with the prostitutes in the temple. With everything that is going on in this world .....

  • Romans 1:24-27 Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

    tbc...

  • For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.

  • why would God even care about something as pathetic as who loves who. Why didn't Jesus ever mention it if homosexuality is so grievous not one time did Christ peak except for one verse about Sodom and Gomorah and rape in any flavor needs to be condemned and judged as far as Sodom and Gomorah goes. How do you even know that those verse are even the same with so much evidence that has come forth that some of the early Church Fathers that have tampered and changed scripture.... pt 2

  • pt 3

    How do you know your even reading what your suppose to be reading. You put an aweful lot of faith in something that has been rewritten more than once alot of certainty there my friend so where is this truth come in. If I had a dime from every person who claimed to be speaking for and thru the holy spirit I would be a million air. I am so tired of the bull ca ca of the love and compassion to your face by the church but as soon as your back is turned you have to pull out the daggers

  • pt 4

    As far as my son goes I will not treat him as my dad did. I will not punish him if he doesn't read a KJV or go to a Pentecostal Church I will NOT TORTURE him with the love of God. If I got that way I will put a gun in his hand personally and make him blow my brains out before I destroyed his life with it like my dad did with mine. You can take 5 people and give them 1 bible verse and you will get 5 different interpretations and each I....

  • pt 5

    I guarantee you will claim to be speaking under the holy spirit. Now how do you decide who is right and who is wrong. Do you choose the 1 that best sits with your own personal views an opinions and call the other 4 heritics or what? I do have a knowledge of God I do miss that relationship but before I let any Church get there hands on my Son they have to go through me 1st and that wont be pretty. The pharasees can kiss my ass my Son will not be mentally mind screwed by them like mine was

  • I did leave out some letrers on these posts I just noticed. If I confused you I am so sorry and I apologise for my hostility its nothing against you personally

  • godzilla323

    I tried to send you a PM since my response is so long but you have a lock on it. Let me know how you want me to respond.

  • Im sorry I didn't know I had it locked

  • 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 (NIV) Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

  • 1 Corinthians 6:18-20 Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a man commits are outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body. Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body.

  • "when was the last time you have seen a Pastor spend a whole Church sermon on what there teaching Pre Teens on Mtv."

    Actually, I have heard more sermons on that than on homosexuality. It is a big topic in the churches I have attended.

    No, your son is not an abomination. What he is practicing is an abomination to God and he needs to repent.

    "I dont care what your Queen James says"

    You really don't know anything about me. I debate KJV onlyists.

  • "I will protect him from the likes of any of you who try to hurt my boy mentally or otherwise"

    You should also be protecting him spiritually. Anyone who harms a homosexual physically, or any other human being, is NOT a Christian. The warnings that God gives us are out of Love. We may not like to hear what he has to say, but it is for our benefit.

  • You may not can stand Spears or Christiana but when was the last time you have seen a Pastor spend a whole Church sermon on what there teaching Pre Teens on Mtv. But yet you hear plenty of CA CA about same sex BS which I take very offensively because my 14 year old is Gay and he is NOT an abomination. I dont care what your Queen James says who was a happy homo himself. My son is my baby and I will protect him from the likes of any of you who try to hurt my boy mentally or otherwise

  • I wonder if Homosexuals have a sit down discussing what we Homosexuals do in our bedrooms. I dont think they really give a crap because there not as involved and interested in our sex lives as some of the queen jamers are. I cant help but wonder if the disgust some of the Nazi Right show toward Homosexuals is really a cover up for there own fears and vices some do protest way to much

  • oops I meant to say what we heterosexuals do sorry bout the typo

  • There is nothing abnormal about heterosexual sex done in the proper manner between husband and wife so their is no reason for homosexuals to discuss it. There are plenty of heterosexual sins too. That doesn't mean we should hide the truth about homosexuality.

    (I cant help but wonder if the disgust some of the Communist Left show toward Christians is really a cover up for their own fears and vices. Some do protest way too much.)

    Works both ways.

  • AWW Shug! Tit for a tat

  • You might want to go to venusmagazine (dot) org and see what Charlene E. Cothran, publisher

    of the former lesbian pride magazine, has to say.

  • No, I do not want to. Thanks. I am not lesbian.

    I believe that Homosexual people are born this way..that they have always been this way. Pedophiles and Murderes and whatever..aren't that way from birth. Something in their life must have went wrong.

    Merry Christmas..

  • You don't have to be gay to read her story. I would think you would want to know all sides to this issue. It doesn't matter if they are born gay or not. That hasn't been settled yet anyway. We are ALL born in sin. It is how we chose to handle our impulses that counts.

    How do you know people aren't born pedophiles and murderers? Have you done the research? Aren't you just being intolerant of something that latter society might better understand?

  • And Merry Christmas :)

  • this is great praise God for your salvation. out of darkness into light

  • o yeah by the way diannaandjack..how dare you tell the creator of something to leave her own characters alone..she created them if she wants to make lestat a fucking circus clown she can.

  • You people sit here and trash Anne Rice and about how Lestat cant be redeemed or whatever...do some research SHE HERSELF SAYS SHE WAS LESTAT..LESTAT WAS HER...it was her interpertation of her life lived through lestat.

  • anne rice love

  • I like Lestat, all the characters and the books how they are! Their layer of darkness is what makes them interesting. Why does Lestat need redemption? He's awesome how he is. I hope she does not write another book unless it is true to originals, not one that is totally based on her new found beliefs. If she can't continue them as they are, leave them alone.

  • BRAINWASH SUPREME.

  • I hope that Anne does not become one more "so-called Christian" that take ON the right of JUDGING OTHERS. To change your writing style is your choice, I respect that.

    Hopefully someone else will fill the void left behind!

  • "The Christian resolve to find the world evil and ugly, has made the world evil and ugly."

    - Friedrich Nietzsche

  • If God forgives all and loves everyone then why dosen't he love me, because Im a Lesbian? Why can I be who I am? I know the problem is not creating babies, I think, but I never planned on doing so in the first place...

  • seriously, I don't believe in this shit that God doesn't love homosexual people, that's so..so..stupid. I mean.. if God decided everything and so on, then why should he despise people that aren't straight? makes no sense to me because I think God did cause that. <_<. People are made by God and if he would not have liked that something happens like people being not straight it wouldn't be that way. God loves you too, really :)

  • ViaticumForLenore

    There is this little thing called the "fall". We ALL rebel against God and have desires that we must overcome in order to live in harmony with Him.

    According to your logic God must be fine with pedophiles and serial killers because they exist.

  • @ fardawg: mhm. well. I think that's something different. Pedophiles and serial killers are really ...sick. and they hurt other people with their "desires" like you call it. Gays and Lesbians do not. They don't hurt anyone and in my opinion they do nothing wrong. And I'm sure God loves them. And you know, God loves everyone also if they make mistakes. And God forgives. Seriously.. I'm straight, but I get really angry when people say not being straight is a sin. I mean..it's just ridiculous.

  • I wasn't saying that homosexuals are the same as killers and pedophiles. I was saying that your argument that they wouldn't exist if God did not approve doesn't work. However, they are hurting themselves and others by dishonoring the bodies that God gave them. The sexual organs do not match. Its like a square peg trying to fit into another square peg. Your right that God forgives but only if the person repents. Homosexuality IS a sin according to the Bible.

  • Since your qualification is that if no one gets hurt than its OK I have a question for you. If someone performs bestiality and doesn't hurt the animal is that normal in your opinion?

  • Romans 1:26-27 NIV

    "Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion."

  • no, of course not. Animals and People is something different. But I think you can't compare that to Homosexuality. I..I don't know..yes, it's true that it doesn't match, but why not let them be this way? I can't understand why people have something against Homsexuals. They are just people like everyone else wanting love. :/ mhm. Okay. Just let it be. I think everyone can have one's own opinion.

  • "Animals and People is something different" Male horses are made for female horses. Male dogs are made for female dogs. Men and women are biologically made for each other.

    Aren't people who perform bestiality "just people like everyone else wanting love"?

    Homosexuals are finding "love" in the wrong place and are disgracing the human body as designed by God. I am not advocating hatred towards homosexuals. I do believe they are dishonoring God and themselves by giving in to their lusts.

  • But Fardawg even Heterosexuals dont always do male to female vaginal penetration. Wheres your intollerence of that. You people are so involved on what goes on in there bedrooms which by the way is none of your buisness that you forget there still human beings deserving of as much compassion as your ilk give to Christina Uglyera and Spears

  • godzilla323

    First, I never said it was the method of sex that was wrong. It is the fact that they do not have the anatomy to have normal sexual relations which shows that homosexuality is not a normal biological drive.

    Second, they are fallen human beings just like we all are. They are in need of God as much as I or you. They, like all of us, need to repent.

    TBC...

  • Third, I can't stand Spears or Christina so I have no idea what you are talking about. They have both disgraced their bodies and are in the same boat with homosexuals.

  • That's a mindless argument. How dare you to compare love between two people to bestiality? To compare people to animals? There is no sense in that comparison. People who perform bestiality don't search for love, they just have some sick disorder that makes them turned on by animals. The animal doesn't share those feelings. That is not the same as two people who love each other equally for the person they are. People like you make me so angry. Sorry to say it.

  • I also meant to ad "or like a round hole trying to fit into another round hole"

  • God does love you and would forgive you if you repented.

  • God is said to forgive all, so why can't Lestat be redeemed. Don't words written and spoken come from god. I thought this was the Idea of Christianity. The unknown is feared.

  • Everyone says how they wish Lestat had redemption, I beleive he has. Anne Rice has said Lestat is herself, and she obviously has gone into the light, which for her is great since Im happy if she is, Vamp books or not. Lestat has been redeemed, and will continue to live in our hearts...besides we can't forget a guy like the brat prince ;)

  • I doubt Lestat would ever want redemption. He is afterall modelled after Lucifer.

    I can't imagine him ever bowing before God, he's far to self-centered. And that's his appeal.

  • Reading the Vampire Chronicle books I discovered my sexuality, and now begining to read her books abour Christ makes me confused again. I want to return to him, but I fear him in the sence that I won't be accepted. Dosen't he love me?

    Good luck Anne Rice, te Angel book series idea is GREAT!

  • what an extraordinary woman. ^^

  • the interviewer looks like he's trying not to laugh, he comes across as a disbeliever in the lord

  • last post was for mikemmlj

  • When I first read Anne Rice I was a young exgay protestant - convinced that I was Armand ;) -I learned that suffering makes you quite Pharisitical-Now I am a doubt-filled and celibate but very much GAY Catholic. I suspect you are Protestant...and to Protestants I say...rest all ye faithful. Don't work hard to win the argument, but love those around you and listen.

  • Well, if your "Catholic" you should know that suffering brings much merit. Look at Christ on the Cross. It is the "pharisitical" who want nothing to do with "suffering". And prayers are with you that you'll be able to see that same sex attraction is Unnatural and Sinful. There is help out there and many who suffer with GID (gender identification disorder) have rec'd help and are living normal healthy and productive lives in society and in the Church.

  • I could have sworn he said he was gay and celibate, which is fully in accord with Church teaching. What's the problem?

  • maybe her son can go on with the VC

  • Noooo! She gave Lestat to the world! He's MINE now! I will protect his undead soul!

    He's safe. :0)

  • I suppose her dedicating her writings to God is really no different than someone dedicating their life to God, like a nun or a monk would. I just...I just never really wanted or envisioned Anne Rice going towards Christain only writing. I guess, when it comes down to it, I just really never wanted the Vampire Chronicles to end, and with Anne Rice dedicating her writings to Christian writing, it means the end of the Vampire Chronicles which saddens me and I'm reluctant to accept it.

  • I'm happy that she found peace and a new passion, but I am really going to miss The Vampire Chronicles. I suppose it's good that she's dedicating her writings of 'God' to a different series rather than trying to incorporate it into her Vampire series; which, if she did, might have not worked well at all. However, I do wish that she does not feel that her writings must be dedicated just to God. I wouldn't mind incorporation, but dedication...

    (CONTINUE)

  • I am a gay lapsed Catholic. When I was growing up and feeling like I was evil because of something I couldn't help, Lestat was a big source of joy and encouragement to me. If she thinks God wouldn't approve of those books, she is wrong. She created a beautiful world and gave joy to many of us and that is truly a Godly thing. Love you anne!

  • Because in their hearts they consider themselves above reproach, they must lash out at anyone who does reproach them. They sacrifice others to preserve their self-image of perfection.

  • anyone with a hierarchy of values has placed 'something' at its apex, and whatever that isis the god he serves. Those who will not accept the Commandments or will not accept fraternal correction when they are wrong have set up 'themselves' at this apex. Humanists decide for themselves what is right and what is wrong without any external entity to instruct them. A predominant characteristic of of the behavior of those who do such evil is scapegoating.

  • This, to me, comes down to one thing. Instead of relying on others, do for yourself. Anne has done her part in creating these characters. If we long for stories such as this, it's up to us to create new stories and new characters. She's given the inspiration. It's no different than people longing for the Beatles after they broke up. You have been given the blueprints, so build a new house. Not to say it's easy to be as great as her, but we must embrace new authors and respect those who change.

  • I don't believe she should return to the Vampire Chronicles. This is a different person than the one who wrote those. This would be like Nikki Sixx becoming a Christian, then going back and rewriting 'Shout At The Devil' in that mindset. It would not work. I'm not comparing those two people, just the situation. I honestly have no no interest in her work now, but that's not to say I don't respect her decision. We all have choices to make, she has made hers, and we must make ours. TO BE CONTINUED

  • you do struggle between good and evil...Hopefully, you will, by the grace of God be given the discernment to decipher between the two.

  • please, please anne rice. don't change Lestat! he was the only character that really spoke to all of us; the outcasts! he was lonely, tormented, charming and an outsider. if he turns to christianity he is turning to the biggest institution and the most mainstream thing to be in the world, a christian!!! please, please, don't change him. make everyone else christian, but him. please let Lestat stay with us.

  • ...so sad...A woman with the most amazing clarity and lucidity in her writings sucked back into Xianity and the most dogmatic, crackpot sect of it too. I will miss you pre-1998 Anne, your passionate, heady, and luxurious expression of existence awakes my soul and leaves me bristling! Post-1998 Anne, Have fun, "cramming for the final". Good grief and good riddance.

  • I may have misunderstood what I've read, but has Anne decided not to write about her vampire and witch characters again due to her return to the church? I wouldn't find that very valid considering those books are still on the shelves making money which I'm sure she will spend. I adore those books and can see why as a writer she would be done with them in the sense that, the passion just isn't there any longer, I suppose I just wonder about the true motivation of abandoning them.

  • Please see the Essay on my Earlier Works which is on my website. The old books reflected my world when they were written. The new books reflect my world now. I remain proud of the older books, and devoted to the readers who cherish them. The website has plenty of clarification. Thanks, Anne.

  • Oh I so wish Lestat could enter her new world. Lestat was heading in that direction and now we have lost him in a way. With all the christianity infused in those books I find it hard to believe it can't be done. However I respect Anne's decision, but I feel much sorrow for Lestat that he will forever be lost in darkness.

  • Donalx07 --- Interesting comment, but I don't see Lestat forever lost in darkness. In Blood Canticle, he definitely chose a redemptive approach to the situations he faced, and I saw him as moving into a future of possibility. I like to think of all the old characters in motion. Thanks for your comment, Anne.

  • After Blood Canticle, I suggest, that Anne stays the furthest away she can from her old books. They are already polluted with enough christianity!

  • climagos --- Thanks for your message. Writers pretty much do what they feel deeply compelled to do. And my works have always been controversial. But thanks for putting in your proverbial two cents. I will find the path that has heart and follow it. Anne.

  • Love ya, Bill, and thanks for the clips! They're great, but STOP INTERRUPTING! lol Give the interview subject time to get out their full thoughts! Peace.

  • thanks...I agree...sometimes i really need to shut up...live and learn.

  • what an outstanding interview. this has to be one of the best i have seen. i agree that anne is such an intelligent women. her journey back to God is so evident in all of her work. the world is so lucky to have someone like anne rice in it. The Road to Cana is a beautiful book. it has the spirit of God all over it. i am so looking forward to next ones on Christ. God bless anne rice and God bless those who set up this interview.

  • Simply amazing. *_* Anne is such an intelligent woman. She inspires me very much. I'm quite exicited and yet nervous about the prospect of another Lestat Novel. I have fiath in her though ^.^
