More quotes by Rufus Wainwright
The mind has so many pictures Why can't I sleep with my eyes open? The mind has so many memories Can you remember what it looks like when I cry? I'm trying, trying to tell you All that I can in a sweet and velvet tongue But no words ever could sell you Sell you on me after all that I have done.
Rufus Wainwright
I still believe that love is the most powerful force in the world, even though I am yet to experience it fully.
Rufus Wainwright
I think the minute you mention death, people run for the hills - unless it's heavy metal. People do not like death.
Rufus Wainwright
As an artist, you put so much into what you do and it can all be torn down in a nanosecond.
Rufus Wainwright
I will take my coffee black / never snack / hang with the wolves who are sheepish.
Rufus Wainwright
I'd be hanging out in my bathrobe all day, stinky, just writing, and my mom allowed me to do this-as long as I was writing songs. She said, 'As long as you're seriously working on music, I'll support you. Don't get a job, because if you work, it will crush you.
Rufus Wainwright
I don't know if it will be my big comeback, but I think it is a statement - that I am a self-sustaining, vibrant, long-term artist, and I'm not going away! And if you don't give me credit, then the musical gods will!
Rufus Wainwright
Well, my great lesson with that was I went to the same production twice - once completely high and once completely sober - and both times were equally wonderful.
Rufus Wainwright
I don't want to hold you and feel so helpless I don't want to smell you and lose my senses And smile in slow motion With eyes in love.
Rufus Wainwright
You get to a certain age, and you feel the need to reward yourself just for existing.
Rufus Wainwright
I've been thinking of trying my hand at rap. I've been recording snippets on my BlackBerry.
Rufus Wainwright
But I want to deepen as an artist, and working with Shakespeare definitely points in that direction.
Rufus Wainwright
I may not lead the most dramatic life, but in my brain it's 'War and Peace' everyday.
Rufus Wainwright
Let the little fairy in you fly!
Rufus Wainwright
I really need to know I may just never see you again, or might as well You took advantage of a world that loved you well I'm going to a town that has already been burnt down I'm so tired of you, America.
Rufus Wainwright
My dad and I have always been somewhat competitive.
Rufus Wainwright
Cigarettes and chocolate milk These are just a couple of my cravings Everything it seems I like's a little bit stronger A little bit thicker A little bit harmful for me.
Rufus Wainwright
I am regarded as a usurper, as an imposter and dilettante, because I do technically come from the wrong side of the tracks in musical terms.
Rufus Wainwright
You had to be an over-the-top, demanding, dramatic figure in order to progress as a woman in Europe over the last few hundred years. Now people say, You're being such a prima donna, meaning you're being hard to deal with or crazy. It's a bit sexist.
Rufus Wainwright
I'll be honest, I worry sometimes about what I've done. I have tied my whole person to my art and, whatever it takes to get that hook, I will go there and do it.
