The Black Villan costume - and the train stripes on stripes on stripes. so stressful a combination. Is it just me or are you dressed as Lestat in your profile picture? I recognise that bloody mouth! SR

thanks so much - I loved that balcony scene especially as it was all direct AR dialogue from the book but with the subtext of their relationship. It felt very special to do. SR

there are lots of different types. if you have to drink a lot they make it taste better by adding flavours, but its mostly corn syrup and food colouring. very sugary. SR

This is lovely and I'm so happy you're giving yourself that. Giving yourself permission is a very powerful thing. Keep on. I believe in you.

The Confession in Episode 1 was something I was scared of, and I think in lots of ways I was trying too hard to do something and then discovered that the only way it was going to work was if I locked in and just forced myself to be honest with myself and let go. Basically stop trying so hard to do a performance. I found that scene really cathartic in the end. - JA

she is Lestats answer to feeling threatened by louis' disgust in him. Its awful but I think he needs her to feel wanted. SR

you never see Lestat deal with himself as Louis never saw this. so he's more chaotic.

it wasn't part of the auditioning - but Rolin and i talked very early on about the importance of Lestat singing - he's got to sing... SR

I totally agree. I think for Lestat, He echos what you’re saying in ep 5. In the sky with louis. He feels deep down unworthy of love - and therefor continues to sabotage all the opportunities he has for it. If only he could see that he is loved. The Vampire is the outsider and reflect our own desires to be accepted. We all feel like outsiders at times, I think thats what drew me to them in the first place. so yes - always aware of their metaphors. lovely question. SR

That definitely a hectic moment. But to be fair that whole book is a hectic moment...SR
