More quotes by Rufus Wainwright
Being uncool is being pretty much the coolest you can be.

Rufus Wainwright
I may not lead the most dramatic life, but in my brain it's 'War and Peace' everyday.
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'm hyper light-sensitive and must sleep in the equivalent of a sealed tomb.
Rufus Wainwright
I want to carve out a serious period of time to focus on the next opera without any distractions. And to do that you need money.
Rufus Wainwright
Every video I do is over budget by the time I walk on set. I am massively extravagant in my personal habits.
Rufus Wainwright

I've always gravitated towards opera, and the Royal Opera House is quite possibly the greatest opera house on earth.
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
When I'm in the classical world, I really treat it as exactly classical and I don't try and spruce it up or jazz it up or make it easier for the masses.
Rufus Wainwright
In the music business, to survive for so long, you have to be able to cut off from your emotions sometimes. And being a father, you're faced with that situation. I know that my father was, with me. I understand why he had to be distant, because to rip yourself away, time after time, is almost more devastating.
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
I find so many songwriters today are missing an element ... either the production is amazing but the songs aren't, or it's the other way around.
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
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
For me, the iPhone is harder than reading Faust.
Rufus Wainwright
I'm very fit on tour. I try to eat well, try to sleep. But it's still rock n' roll.
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 don't want to hold you and feel so helpless I don't want to smell you and lose my senses And smile in slow motion With eyes in love.
Rufus Wainwright
