More quotes by Rufus Wainwright
I have managed to eke out a good and substantial existence. I'm not shoveling gold bricks or anything, but I do very, very well.
Rufus Wainwright
Some people go to Berlin to get more cutting edge I went and started wearing lederhosen and going to visit baroque palaces.
Rufus Wainwright
My mother's songs are really turning out to be masterpieces. I have inherited this incredible legacy and am so fortunate to bathe in her sensibilities. It is tinged with tragedy. I'd much rather she was here in person, but there is still a positive force to come out of her death and that is having the gift of music that she gave.
Rufus Wainwright
What I love about my daughter is that she is going to definitely allow me and force me to change my life and slow down and make it more about the real things in the world.

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
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 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
But I want to deepen as an artist, and working with Shakespeare definitely points in that direction.
Rufus Wainwright
I will take my coffee black / never snack / hang with the wolves who are sheepish.

Once you've fallen from classical virtue, won't have a soul for to wake up and hold you.
Rufus Wainwright
I've always gravitated towards opera, and the Royal Opera House is quite possibly the greatest opera house on earth.
Rufus Wainwright
I may not lead the most dramatic life, but in my brain it's 'War and Peace' everyday.
Rufus Wainwright
I like to think of myself as a combination of Sid Vicious and Virgil Thompson
Rufus Wainwright
I do not consider myself a guitar player. My father is a guitar player - I'm not.
