· 5 pulledI usually try to do the scariest, most intense stuff I can do, and then the audience laughs and they like the guy.
I don't understand why everybody loves Molloy. He's a jerk. He's a drunk. He's a failure. He's a guy who's been living in the shadow of his own potential his whole life.
The thing about Daniel is that he's not afraid of anything. He's not afraid of Lestat. He's not afraid of death. He's not afraid of his own mortality.
I've been doing this for 50 years, and I still feel like I'm just getting started.
What I love about this show is that it's not just about vampires. It's about addiction, it's about trauma, it's about the stories we tell ourselves to survive.
