I do not consider myself a guitar player. My father is a guitar player - I'm not.
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
Some people go to Berlin to get more cutting edge I went and started wearing lederhosen and going to visit baroque palaces.
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
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

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 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
Unless I have my aunt or my boyfriend to take care of me, I'm a little pathetic.
Rufus Wainwright
There is actually a great book called Prima Donna by Rupert -Christiansen that deconstructs the myth. In fact, many of the women who were prima donnas were feminists and incredible forces for their time.
Rufus Wainwright
I really do fear that I'm dying I really do fear that I'm dead I saw it in your eyes what I'm looking for I saw it in your eyes what will make me live.
Rufus Wainwright
I wish I could just relax sometimes and make some money, but I always feel like I have to prove some kind of big, profound point.
Rufus Wainwright
If I had had more of a strategic attitude towards how to reveal my sexuality, and if I'd even played with it a little more, I could have sold a lot more albums and been a lot more famous.
Rufus Wainwright
But I want to deepen as an artist, and working with Shakespeare definitely points in that direction.
Rufus Wainwright
The mind has so many pictures Why can't I sleep with my eyes open? The mind has so many memories Can you remember what it looks like when I cry? I'm trying, trying to tell you All that I can in a sweet and velvet tongue But no words ever could sell you Sell you on me after all that I have done.
Rufus Wainwright
For me, the iPhone is harder than reading Faust.
Rufus Wainwright
My mother's songs are really turning out to be masterpieces. I have inherited this incredible legacy and am so fortunate to bathe in her sensibilities. It is tinged with tragedy. I'd much rather she was here in person, but there is still a positive force to come out of her death and that is having the gift of music that she gave.
Rufus Wainwright
My dad and I have always been somewhat competitive.
Rufus Wainwright
I knew I was gay when I was around 13. There wasn't the internet, there weren't support groups, AIDS was everywhere. I mean, it was really dark.
