More quotes by Rufus Wainwright
I'm not a terrible smoker, actually. My major addiction, which is horrible, is straight boys.
Rufus Wainwright
Everything I do, I feel is genius. Whether it is or it isn't.
Rufus Wainwright
I was in the forest jumping around daffodils while everyone was high on heroin.
Rufus Wainwright

Rufus Wainwright
My dad and I have always been somewhat competitive.
Rufus Wainwright
I think my mother, more than anyone, knew the importance of inspiration. If it was occurring, you had to use it.
Rufus Wainwright
I just think it's better to have ideas. I mean, you can change an idea. Changing a belief is trickier, people die for them, people kill for them.
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 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 think I've done a pretty fantastic job, but of course I want to sell millions of records.
Rufus Wainwright
