Go where the pain is, go where the pleasure is.

Pain, Pleasure

"Anne Rice confirms that the vampires Louis and Lestat are a same-sex couple with a child". Interview with Kaila Hale-Stern, io9.com. October 17, 2012.

I don't believe in hell. The idea that a supreme being would make hell is ridiculous. An eternity of pain that results in no learning, reformation or rebirth is a nauseating idea. It's one of the reasons I left Christianity. I simply could not accept that version of God.

Writers write about what obsesses them. You draw those cards. I lost my mother when I was 14. My daughter died at the age of 6. I lost my faith as a Catholic. When I'm writing, the darkness is always there. I go where the pain is.

Daughter, Mother, Pain

"Anne Rice", www.theguardian.com. July 2, 2008.

What if I could give you your life back; pluck out the pain; and give you a world of unimaginable beauty that would be for all time.

And I loved this moment for all it's pain...We seemed for a moment like two parts of the same thing.

Go where the pleasure is in your writing. Go where the pain is. Write the book you would like to read. Write the book you have been trying to find but have not found. But write. And remember, there are no rules for our profession. Ignore rules. Ignore what I say here if it doesn't help you. Do it your own way. Every writer knows fear and discouragement. Just write.The world is crying for new writing. It is crying for fresh and original voices and new characters and new stories. If you won't write the classics of tomorrow, well, we will not have any.

Pain, Book, Character

Because I show you my pain, I do not of necessity love you.

Pain, Love You, Shows

Advice to a new writer: There are no rules in this profession. Do what is good for you. Read books and watch films that stimulate your writing. In your writing, go where the pain is; go where the pleasure is; go where the excitement is. Believe in your own original approach, voice, characters, story. Ignore critics. Have nerve. Be stubborn.

Pain, Book, Believe

FaceBook post by Anne Rice from Aug 22, 2014

I had wanted to say that my song was far too painful to sing.

Song, Pain, Painful

Anne Rice (2011). “New Tales of the Vampires: includes Pandora and Vittorio the Vampire”, p.26, Ballantine Books

Oh, my darling, wish you were here! And my dark soul is happy again, because it does not know how to be anything else for very long, and because the pain is a deep dark sea in which I would drown if I did not sail my little craft steadily over the surface, steadily towards a sun which will never rise.

Pain, Dark, Sea

Anne Rice (1992). “The Tale of the Body Thief”, A.A. Knopf Canada

This suffering, this unspeakable capacity to bleed and to know pain and to know annihilation, is what has to be overcome in this world if anyone is to reach God.

Pain, Suffering, Overcoming

Anne Rice (1997). “Memnoch the Devil”, Random House Digital, Inc.

Garden of Pain, I need you. What were the songs of beasts to the cries of sentient souls?

Song, Pain, Garden

The only pain in pleasure is the pleasure of the pain.

Pain, Literature, Pleasure

When I'm writing, the darkness is always there. I go where the pain is.

Pain, Writing, Darkness

And then it was, that grief and pain made themselves known to me as never before. Note this, because I knew the full absurdity of Fate and Fortune and Nature more truly than a human can bear to know it. And perhaps the description of this, brief as it is, may give consolation to another. The worst takes its time to come, and then to pass. The truth is, you cannot prepare anyone for this, nor convey an understanding of it through language. It must be known. And this I would wish on no one in the world.

Pain, Grief, Fate

Anne Rice (2011). “New Tales of the Vampires: includes Pandora and Vittorio the Vampire”, p.106, Ballantine Books

What I have always wanted more than revenge is to bring the other person to recognition of the pain they caused, so they essentially say, "I will never do that again."
