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

Rufus Wainwright
I like to think of myself as a combination of Sid Vicious and Virgil Thompson
Rufus Wainwright

Rufus Wainwright
It seems like the older I get, the more unreal the world becomes.
Rufus Wainwright
Guess the world needs both sun And the moon too Sad with what I have except for you.
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
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
Growing up, for years and years I had no idea what the plots of operas were, and that's part of what fascinated me - I could make them up and learn bits and pieces of what was going on over time. There's something about it being always a step away that makes it more fun to chase.
Rufus Wainwright
I do not consider myself a guitar player. My father is a guitar player - I'm not.
Rufus Wainwright
I will take my coffee black / never snack / hang with the wolves who are sheepish.
Rufus Wainwright
I'm not a terrible smoker, actually. My major addiction, which is horrible, is straight boys.
