Alexandra Cassavetes quotes

The vampire movies I embraced as a kid used vampirism as a metaphor that expressed deep sadness and a lot of human qualities. (Alexandra Cassavetes)

I think at its most mature, love is a very bourgeois state. There is something about luxuriating in the nest of love that people fall into naturally.

Alexandra Cassavetes

I think of making a movie in such a romantic way.

Alexandra Cassavetes

People are fascinated with eternal life and physical power - the idea of having no vulnerability. We all feel small and powerless in the world at times, so the temptation to be a vampire is compelling.

Alexandra Cassavetes

I think the reason vampire movies have been so popular over time is that they share so many parallels with human beings.

Alexandra Cassavetes

I think vampires are different from human beings, but they're sentenced to eternity on this planet. They have the same confusion about love and permanence, integrity, and denial. These qualities really are the same in vampire characters as in humans. I think they're universal themes.

Alexandra Cassavetes

Love is a component of many different things - the baggage you bring, the moment, what you need in your life, seeing someone as a portal for understanding everything, and all the intensity that brings. It's not something to count on and act like it's a stable thing.
