I always thought of vampires, especially the young-adult ones, as a metaphor for sex -- sucking blood, forbidden, taboo. I think they just ooze sex. Vampires are all the big themes in life in one attractive bloodsucking package.

Wow! When you become a vampire, men become broad shouldered and muscle-bound and women become tall and thin! You ever think of selling this on QVC?
PETE ABRAMS
"Vampires", Sluggy Freelance, September 27, 1998
In the 1970s vampires were pretty boring. The scariest vampire was Count Chocula. One bite of Count Chocula and you were cursed with Type 2 diabetes.
CRAIG FERGUSON
The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, March 19, 2012
Vampires are both people, with human emotions and feelings, and supernatural. One side of their personality can be stressed over the other, but they are always shown as contradictory.

I want a cheeseburger so badly, but I have to be a vampire in a few weeks.

The vampire is an outsider. He's the perfect metaphor for those things. He's someone who looks human and sounds human, but is not human, so he's always on the margins.

If there's one thing real vampires seem to have in common, it is their reluctance to tell the world about who, and what, they are.

"Interview with a real-life vampire: why drinking blood isn't like in Hollywood", The Guardian, August 15, 2015
I think I should warn you all, when a vampire bites it, it's never a pretty sight. No two bloodsuckers go the same way. Some yell and scream, some go quietly, some explode, some implode, but all will try to take you with them.
EDGAR FROG

You won't find a vampire in a Ford Fiesta.
CHARLAINE HARRIS
Dead Until Dark
Vampires. Honestly, they're like children sometimes.
RICHELLE MEAD
Succubus Blues
They hover alive in the space about me, vampires of thought, drinking the life of my soul. Shadows, flung into space by sharp corners, breaking off at unknown angles, falling on concrete floors, climbing black walls.
CHESTER HIMES
Cast the First Stone
What the hell was I doing standing in the middle of a cave, in the dark, surrounded by wererats, quoting Dr. Seuss, and trying to kill a one-thousand-year-old vampire?
LAURELL K. HAMILTON
Guilty Pleasures
Sudden as a knife you thrust
into my sorry heart
and strong as a host of demons came,
gaudy and libertine,
to make in my corrupted mind
your bed and bedlam there;
Beast, who bind me to you close
as convict to his chains.
CHARLES BAUDELAIRE
"The Vampire"
As most people know, I am a vampire, so I have no reflection. Every day, I paste a picture of someone else on the mirror. So this morning I combed George Clooney's hair; yesterday it was Brad Pitt's.

"What I see in the mirror: Meat Loaf", The Guardian, October 29, 2010
There's something about death. It's like trying to understand our own mortality and immortality. That's why society is so into things like vampires, because they don't die.
SHERYL LEE
Los Angeles Times, 1991
Give me the chance to dance romance
Don't run, I'm not the sun
So much at stake ... oh!

OUTKAST
"Dracula's Wedding"
I'm looking for someone to quench my thirst-for all eternity.
ELLEN SCHREIBER
Vampireville
If it's raining and you're running
Don't slip in mud cause
If you do you'll slip in blood
Tonight is the night of the vampire
ROKY ERICKSON
"Night of the Vampire"
Surveys conducted by the Atlanta Vampire Alliance have found that there are at least five thousand people in the U.S. who identify as real vampires.... These communities have largely kept to themselves, knowing enough about public perception to not want to attract prying eyes.
YANAN WANG
"'Real' vampires exist and there are over 5,000 of them in the United States", National Post, October 26, 2016
My vampires Lestat and Louis and Armand, they look more like angels than the feral Dracula. And they're not repulsive like Dracula, they're very seductive and beautiful. To me that added to the drama, to the tragic dilemma of the vampire, that immortality in the form of a vampire gave him so much power, and so many gifts, and so much charm and glamour.
