More quotes by Rufus Wainwright
I do not consider myself a guitar player. My father is a guitar player - I'm not.
Rufus Wainwright
If I had had more of a strategic attitude towards how to reveal my sexuality, and if I'd even played with it a little more, I could have sold a lot more albums and been a lot more famous.
Rufus Wainwright
I find so many songwriters today are missing an element ... either the production is amazing but the songs aren't, or it's the other way around.
Rufus Wainwright
I could always escape into this demi-monde of homosexuality, which I feel really indebted to. It stopped me being a 'mummy's boy.'
Rufus Wainwright
I came out of the closet very young, and I had to cut my teeth pretty fast.
Rufus Wainwright
Life is the longest death in California.
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
And you will believe in love And all that it's supposed to be But just until the fish start to smell And you're struck down by a hammer.
Rufus Wainwright
I would love to have a number one hit. The truth is if I don't get one, I'll be fine, but at the same time, the truth is that I'm dying for one, as well.
Rufus Wainwright
I think everybody identified at a pretty young age that I was fairly entranced with myself. And that I had to be tempered.
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
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
My dad and I have always been somewhat competitive.
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.
Rufus Wainwright
I have this horrible, horrible habit of going on YouTube and checking out comments about what I do.
Rufus Wainwright
I want to carve out a serious period of time to focus on the next opera without any distractions. And to do that you need money.
Rufus Wainwright
And I am left behind Corrupted crushed and blind All for a dream That in truth was never really mine.
Rufus Wainwright
Let the little fairy in you fly!
Rufus Wainwright
I am always writing if you want to survive in this business, you need to keep working, keep creating and never stop the output.
Rufus Wainwright
Guess the world needs both sun And the moon too Sad with what I have except for you.
Rufus Wainwright
