"How is Daniel dealing with life as a vampire when we catch up with him?"
"It's traumatic, but he doesn't want to show how traumatic it is. Daniel's way of dealing with fear is anger... and bowling. There's lots of bowling as well."
SDCC Day 2 Interviews - Eric Bogosian
Assad on what Armand is up to in Season 3
"Armand's pissed off. But also he's trying to figure out who he's pissed off with and why. He knows he's a big cause of all that and what went wrong, but I think he's trying to figure things out without imploding."
NYCC 2025 Main Stage Interview - Oct 11, 2025
[I love watching you over the season and Louis's relationship with being a vampire. So in this new season, are you still struggling with that?]
Jacob: Oh yeah, Louis is struggling. It's hard because the bulk of Louis's story is under wraps. And I think that's good because, what we do with it is surprising. But you know when you find a thing, like you just started yoga, or something that can keep you grounded in some way, and you keep that consistent, and keep it measured and regulated, that's amazing. But I think that, to some extent--because the interview was only 10 or 11 days--he found all these things about himself, and come to these conclusions, he's almost deliriously decided that 'I'm One now, I've found the thing' and almost overdosed on hope. So I always thought of him like, he found a purpose, but some of the scaffolding underneath the purpose isn't like... all there. And he's kind of gone the wrong way about putting a neat bow on his story. And it gets really unhealthy. There's some really uncomfortable stuff this season. [And that's oddly very human. So many of us try to present that way, but in reality something is bubbling under that isn't perfect. But we don't always want to address that or show that] Yeah. I also don't want to put a damper on self improvement, but you do see it in life that, "I've done all these things to better myself, I've come to terms with myself." But they don't do the work to address how the other version of themselves may have affected other people whom they love. Some people I'm like, that person was trash that person was creating a bad energy in your life, but you have to check in on people too... that was something with Louis that like, he really hurt Lestat in the book. Human beings aren't neat, and that means vampires are definitely not neat.

Was Armand actually considering maybe killing Louis [after Claudia joined the coven]? And obviously he doesnt. What is it about Louis that overrides Armand's loyalty to the theatre and do what he has been asked?
Assad: First question; yeah. I think he went in there knowing he was going to do it. I think he fully intented to. Not because he wanted to, but because of his sense of obligation to his coven; to reassert his dominance or power... that was the way it was.
He's enthralled and enraptured by Louis at this point, definitely for sure, but he hasn't really been with him for that long, and doesn't know him really in that sense. And this coven... who knows how he feels about them truly but, they have been there for him and whether he likes it or not, those centuries of lore and following this kind of lifestyle that they've built...
He has this sense of obligation. He's good at following rules And he kind of needs those rules to give him purpose in life. That's why he fell in with the Children of Darkness for so long, but before that we've seen the life he had with Marius as well. There were strict rules and purpose to it, and there was love--albeit toxic, and weird, and insane, and fucked up--but it gave him a purpose. And after it all got crumbled down that he was sort've ruined and then he built up again with this other sense of purpose with the Children of Darkness, and that got crumbled, and then he built this new sense of purpose; and so those structures are so important to him--he feels.
And I think at this point in time when Santiago sort've gives him the ultimatum at getting rid of [Louis], he knows that's what he has to do. And he goes in with that express intention of doing it. And it's Louis's power-- it's Louis's hold over him that stops him at the last minute.
Which I think if Armand never intended to do it, it would take away Louis's power over him.
I think in that moment when [Louis] asks about Claudia, and he-- I think for me, it's the moment where he says "look out for her;" I think that shifts everything.
Artful Articulation with Assad Zaman | 2024
What are you [Eric Bogosian] most excited about now that your character is one of the immortals? I know it's been a journey for [Daniel, he] didn't love the idea at first.
For Daniel, it went both ways (good and bad) and that'll be part of our story; is that becoming a vampire is not an easy path for Daniel. There's also Daniel's impulses. Just think about it; where we ended at the second season, there's still a lot of unanswered questions, and Daniel always wants answers. And this is gonna be a Lestat centered series of episodes, and Daniel focuses on Lestat. All the focus is on Lestat. Though all I can say is this; I'm not sitting on a couch anymore, sitting around asking some questions, I am moving around- [Rolin moves to interrupt, but Jacob talks first] Jacob: You keep saying "moving around" like you were like sitting on a couch opposite like... a bowl of pudding [Rolin cracking up] Eric: I'm not sitting on a couch anymore- Jacob: like things were happening, jeez- Eric: gazing into Jacob Anderson's beautiful eyes for hours on end- Jacob: {mocking} sitting on a couch in front of a bowl of Charisma Eric: listening to him go on and on- Rolin: this is Eric's long winded way of saying that he's going to be bowling. Eric: I'm bowling- I'm going to be bowling angry Sam: This is a scoop. That's the first time he's said that today.
