If vampires were a separate species, and they were into genetic engineering, what would they engineer for?
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think vampires would want to find a way to stay attached to the living, the way human beings do, and that is through love, interrelations and meaning.
Vampires aren't made - they're just born that way, and no one knows why. They're sort of a race unto themselves.
The thing I love about vampires that I find so fascinating is that, unlike other sci-fi creations, they aren't monsters from the get-go, they're human beings first... and so what kind of human you are would dictate what kind of vampire you would be.
I want to be a vampire. They're the coolest monsters.
Every vampire fiction reinvents vampires to its own needs. You take what you want.
What I'm working on now - I'm back to fantasy, although considering that it's me, I'm turning it into a kind of science fantasy. It's a vampire story - but my vampires are biological vampires. They didn't become vampires because someone bit them; they were born that way.
'Interview with a Vampire' made vampires sexy.
Vampires are so sexy and powerful - they're so otherworldly; they have eternal life and youth.
There are many vampires in the world today... you only have to think of the film business.
Into every generation comes a vampire.
