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
I have a three-year-old daughter, which makes me more environmentally conscious. For me, it's about the future.
Rufus Wainwright
All humans realize they are loved when witnessing the dawn early morning is the triumph of good over evil. Absolved by light we decide to go on.
Rufus Wainwright
And I am left behind Corrupted crushed and blind All for a dream That in truth was never really mine.
Rufus Wainwright
The song is about knowing the end result of every situation you're in, and being able to play it out in your mind and see it before it happens. It's about addiction, really, about knowing how it's all going to end up. In that sense, you're watching a movie of yourself all the time - and then you want out of that movie.
Rufus Wainwright
Writing an opera and premiering in England, you could say I was going right into the eye of the storm and I came out successfully. A little tattered and bruised, but so what, I made it.
Rufus Wainwright
I definitely have a Luddite's approach to what's going on. I find that as I get older, I get stupider.
Rufus Wainwright

Rufus Wainwright

Rufus Wainwright

Rufus Wainwright
It seems like the older I get, the more unreal the world becomes.
Rufus Wainwright
I do not consider myself a guitar player. My father is a guitar player - I'm not.
Rufus Wainwright
I wish I could just relax sometimes and make some money, but I always feel like I have to prove some kind of big, profound point.
Rufus Wainwright
All these poses of classical torture ruined my mind like a snake in the orchard. I did go from wanting to be someone, now I'm drunk and wearing flip-flops on Fifth Avenue.
Rufus Wainwright
I believe in freedom Freedom's apparently all I need But who's ever been free in this world? Who has never had to bleed in this world?
Rufus Wainwright
For me, the iPhone is harder than reading Faust.
Rufus Wainwright
The more hedonistic you were, the better...I very much subscribed to that as a young artist.
Rufus Wainwright
I really do fear that I'm dying I really do fear that I'm dead I saw it in your eyes what I'm looking for I saw it in your eyes what will make me live.
Rufus Wainwright
A diaper is as inspiring as a drink.
Rufus Wainwright
I knew I was gay when I was around 13. There wasn't the internet, there weren't support groups, AIDS was everywhere. I mean, it was really dark.
