More quotes by 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 like to try new things.
Rufus Wainwright
I do not consider myself a guitar player. My father is a guitar player - I'm not.
Rufus Wainwright
I think everybody identified at a pretty young age that I was fairly entranced with myself. And that I had to be tempered.
Rufus Wainwright
My mother had a lot of parties when I was a child. There'd always be a moment when she would place me on the upright piano and have me sing Somewhere Over the Rainbow.
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
Certainly in terms of my life - anybody's life - you go through death, childbirth and marriage, glory and defeat, and so on.
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
What I love about my daughter is that she is going to definitely allow me and force me to change my life and slow down and make it more about the real things in the world.
Rufus Wainwright
In the present world, this technological, psychotic, politicised, nonsensical world, you have to believe that the good guys are going to win! That evil will be banished somehow!
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 have a three-year-old daughter, which makes me more environmentally conscious. For me, it's about the future.
Rufus Wainwright
Why be in music, why write songs, if you can't use them to explore life or an idealized vision of life?
Rufus Wainwright
The operas I listen to aren't in English, and I want to listen to my opera after I'm done with it. I want to have the desire to play it on the stereo. To me, the language is part of the mystery.
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
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 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.
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
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 have this horrible, horrible habit of going on YouTube and checking out comments about what I do.
Rufus Wainwright
