I had an idea of Lestat as the man of action, the man that could do things that I never could, the man who could make decisions that I’d never had the nerve to make, and the person who could go through life joyfully in spite of the questions that torment me, the doubts that torment me, the horror of death that torments me. (...) [Lestat] never really absorbs a tragic definition of himself for very long. He always comes back laughing at everything and just rebounding. It may take him a few years, but he always does it. I really wanted to explore a personality different from my own. - Anne Rice (source)

Lestat, Louis and Armand complaining about each other's books

This is not an exhaustive list, if you find any others and are willing to share, I'd be eternally grateful ^^.

I read [Interview with the Vampire] over and over. And then in a moment of contemptible anger, I shredded it to bits. - Lestat, The Vampire Lestat

As for the lies [Louis] told, the mistakes he made, well, I forgive him his excess of imagination, his bitterness, and his vanity, which was, after all, never very great - Lestat, The Vampire Lestat

"That's Louis's language," Armand said patiently. "Please don't quote that book to me" - Queen of the Damned

Interview with the Vampire, of all preposterous titles! – Lestat, The Tale of the Body Thief

"Weep. I'd like to see you weep. I've read a great deal about your weeping in the pages of your books but I've never seen you weep with my own eyes." "Ah, that makes you out to be a perfect liar," [Lestat] said furiously. "You described my weeping in your miserable memoir in a scene which we both know did not take place!" - Lestat and Louis, The Tale of the Body Thief

That's why [Louis] described me so vividly yet poorly in his book over and over again – Lestat, The Tale of the Body Thief

I insulted [Louis's] writing all the time. That was a joke. Well, sort of a joke – Lestat, The Tale of the Body Thief

Louis had poured out his story, published under the absurd title Interview with the Vampire – Armand, The Vampire Armand

But it's the way [Lestat] describes things that happen to him that maddens me, the way that he connects one incident to another as though all these random and grisly occurrences were in fact links in some significant chain. They are not. They are capers. And he knows it. But he must make a gutter theatrical out of stubbing his toe - Armand, The Vampire Armand

And it was Louis’s outrageous lies about me, intentional and unintentional (some people should not be granted a poetic license) - Lestat, Blood Communion

Bonus:

Louis's testament: "Behold, the void." And Lestat's history: "And this and this and this, and it means nothing." - Khayman, Queen of the Damned

She'd tried to read the Vampire Lestat's book - the whole history of Dead guys back to ancient times and all but there were just too many big words and konk, she was asleep. (...) and the first one, the one with the title she could never get straight, something like "conversations with the vampire," or "talking with the vampire," or "getting to meet the vampire," or something like that. Davis would read out loud from that one sometimes, but Baby Jenks couldn't take it in, snore! (...) the book was full of stuff about banana leaves and iron railings and Spanish moss. - Baby Jenks, Queen of the Damned

I've got two moments with Assad. So, the first time I got to act with Assad was when we were doing the flashback, or Armand's memory.

creating a book series called "big fear shakespeare" where i expect you to know every reference and definition and instead there are comments in the margins saying things like "what kind of idiot wouldn't know this?"
