More quotes by Rufus Wainwright
Certainly in terms of my life - anybody's life - you go through death, childbirth and marriage, glory and defeat, and so on.
Rufus Wainwright
I'm hyper light-sensitive and must sleep in the equivalent of a sealed tomb.
Rufus Wainwright
That will to love is very powerful. But it doesn't always win.
Rufus Wainwright
One of the main destructive forces within our family has been these runaway egos. I think if you look at any show business family, that struggle exists.
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 do not consider myself a guitar player. My father is a guitar player - I'm not.
Rufus Wainwright
The more hedonistic you were, the better...I very much subscribed to that as a young artist.
Rufus Wainwright
Places that have experienced great defeat experience a kind of rebirth, which I think America has to do - unless we want to get more decrepit. I don't think we have to destroy the place totally.
Rufus Wainwright
Why be in music, why write songs, if you can't use them to explore life or an idealized vision of life?
Rufus Wainwright
When it comes to sitting down and composing, there is no hesitation, no concern, no critics breathing fire down my neck. For me, writing a song is the purest part of all. No one can mess with that.
Rufus Wainwright
The artist who gave me the most inspiration and direction, especially as a singer - and I absolutely consider myself a singer, 100 percent - is Nina Simone. She's my ultimate pianist-singer-type person.
Rufus Wainwright
I'd be hanging out in my bathrobe all day, stinky, just writing, and my mom allowed me to do this-as long as I was writing songs. She said, 'As long as you're seriously working on music, I'll support you. Don't get a job, because if you work, it will crush you.
Rufus Wainwright
These are just the rules and regulations Of the birds, and the bees The earth, and the trees, Not to mention the gods, not to mention the gods.
Rufus Wainwright
But I don't even think you hear me at all Under your medieval ceiling behind your biblical wall
Rufus Wainwright
My dad and I have always been somewhat competitive.
Rufus Wainwright
I think my imagination and my passions are still firing away, but it's really the body that starts to make up the rules. It's not a major problem it's just when you get a little older you realize how much your body thanks you when you are good to it.
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
You know the question: 'How do you get to Carnegie Hall?' Answer: 'Practise?' Well, in my case, I got there by not practising. I didn't finish my music degree. And when I got into the pop world, I decided not to conform because I figured that the point of being an artist was that you shouldn't be like anyone else.
Rufus Wainwright
I came out of the closet very young, and I had to cut my teeth pretty fast.
Rufus Wainwright
Everything I do, I feel is genius. Whether it is or it isn't.
