More quotes by Rufus Wainwright

Rufus Wainwright
For me, the iPhone is harder than reading Faust.
Rufus Wainwright
In retrospect, I'm really shocked at how far I put my heart out there on the line with 'Prima Donna'. I seem to have this knack for being able to accomplish that.
Rufus Wainwright
I may not lead the most dramatic life, but in my brain it's 'War and Peace' everyday.
Rufus Wainwright

Rufus Wainwright
I think my mother, more than anyone, knew the importance of inspiration. If it was occurring, you had to use it.
Rufus Wainwright
I've developed into quite a swan. I'm one of those people that will probably look better and better as I get older - until I drop dead of beauty.
Rufus Wainwright

Rufus Wainwright
I've been thinking of trying my hand at rap. I've been recording snippets on my BlackBerry.
Rufus Wainwright
Why be in music, why write songs, if you can't use them to explore life or an idealized vision of life?
Rufus Wainwright
I like to try new things.
