More quotes by Rufus Wainwright
Everything I do, I feel is genius. Whether it is or it isn't.
Rufus Wainwright
I strive for what you do find in Shakespeare's work - that there is a definite humanity and a definite character behind the writing in the sonnets, and it's very real because it's so deeply personal. I try to aspire to that in what I do.
Rufus Wainwright
My cheeks explode when I smile. Thats why I have to look so nonplussed.
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
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
I've paid the price I definitely have a reputation that precedes me, and there is a camp that plots my demise. But then again... it's funner that way.
Rufus Wainwright
I'm hyper light-sensitive and must sleep in the equivalent of a sealed tomb.
Rufus Wainwright
The more hedonistic you were, the better...I very much subscribed to that as a young artist.
Rufus Wainwright
My greatest experiences in the theatre and the most religious experiences in my life - of which going to the opera is one for me - have been with the Romantic composers' repertoire: it's Wagner, it's Strauss, Verdi, Puccini. That era gets me every time.
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 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 came out of the closet very young, and I had to cut my teeth pretty fast.
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
As an artist, you put so much into what you do and it can all be torn down in a nanosecond.
Rufus Wainwright
I don't know if it will be my big comeback, but I think it is a statement - that I am a self-sustaining, vibrant, long-term artist, and I'm not going away! And if you don't give me credit, then the musical gods will!
Rufus Wainwright
Opera needs to be a total escape from real life. To relate to what we're going through today is fine and dandy, but it's really about being transported and completely swept away by a romantic notion.
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
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
I'll be honest, I worry sometimes about what I've done. I have tied my whole person to my art and, whatever it takes to get that hook, I will go there and do it.
Rufus Wainwright
I do not consider myself a guitar player. My father is a guitar player - I'm not.
Rufus Wainwright
