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

I may not lead the most dramatic life, but in my brain it's 'War and Peace' everyday.
Rufus Wainwright
I really need to know I may just never see you again, or might as well You took advantage of a world that loved you well I'm going to a town that has already been burnt down I'm so tired of you, America.
Rufus Wainwright
I'm 33 and in my Jesus year, and I want it all right now. I want a perfect body. I want to have a perfect love affair. I want every member of my family to be healthy and happy. And I want the world to save itself and for America to realize that it has to give up its idea of being an empire. Wait until I hit 40 then it'll all come crumbling dow

You had to be an over-the-top, demanding, dramatic figure in order to progress as a woman in Europe over the last few hundred years. Now people say, You're being such a prima donna, meaning you're being hard to deal with or crazy. It's a bit sexist.

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
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
For me, the iPhone is harder than reading Faust.
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
I think the minute you mention death, people run for the hills - unless it's heavy metal. People do not like death.
Rufus Wainwright
Let the little fairy in you fly!
Rufus Wainwright
Once you've fallen from classical virtue, won't have a soul for to wake up and hold you.
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
I think I've done a pretty fantastic job, but of course I want to sell millions of records.
Rufus Wainwright
I came out of the closet very young, and I had to cut my teeth pretty fast.
Rufus Wainwright
I like to sing to Verdi, I like singing to Sibelius, and Mahler maybe.
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
The moment something happens to one you love, it's twenty times more intense. You experience pain and enlightenment on a much vaster scale.
Rufus Wainwright
Arguably, the relationship between Liza Minnelli and Judy Garland is one of the great mother-daughter sagas of all time. Certainly, for certain people, and a lot of them, Liza is the bigger star. Liza is the more kind of viable legend, shall we say. Then there's the other camp, where Judy is the one.
