Damien Daville
Founder of the Vampire Church
Question:
"As the founder of the Vampire Church organization, you have been
in a high profile public viewpoint for some time. How do you balance the
public wanting to know more about you with your needs as a private
individual? Where do you draw that line and what do you do when people try to pry
past it?"
Greetings..
One of the things I took great care to do when I started working in the public eye to
educate people about real vampirism was to keep certain elements of my private life to
myself including some personal relationships. Even when I was asked to do
interviews by people in the media via television and radio, I always made it clear
beforehand that there would be certain questions about my personal life I would not answer.
I get contacted every week from people asking me for help with understanding real vampirism
and I realize that this is the result of being in the public eye. I have accepted
that, however, I have had to deal with the curiosity and ridicule of people in my life
who have discovered what I am because of my choice to be a public person and not hide my
relationship with real vampirism.
Drawing the line on what I will allow the public to know has been a difficult thing. Because
I have been a public person on the subject, people can and will learn about my activity in
the community promoting the understanding of vampirism and that I personally am afflicted by
it. What I try to hold on to with great difficulty are further details of personal
relationships I have and further details of my personal vampirism. People do ask and I do
limit what I will talk about to the understanding of the subject, not how the subject applies
to my personal life. After numerous years of working in the public eye to promote the
understanding of the subject, I have had to deal with probes into my personal life, both
in the workplace and on the home front. I have come to be tolerant of it due to the many
years I have spent working in the public community, and my choice to be a public figure. I
have come to realize I have to expect the one with the other.
Regards..
Damien Daville
