Rufus Wainwright
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.
Rufus Wainwright
Unless I have my aunt or my boyfriend to take care of me, I'm a little pathetic.
Rufus Wainwright
But I want to deepen as an artist, and working with Shakespeare definitely points in that direction.
Rufus Wainwright
Madonna created a monster that sucks up souls.
Rufus Wainwright
