More quotes by Rufus Wainwright
I think I've done a pretty fantastic job, but of course I want to sell millions of records.
Rufus Wainwright
Once you've fallen from classical virtue, won't have a soul for to wake up and hold you.
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
The artist who gave me the most inspiration and direction, especially as a singer - and I absolutely consider myself a singer, 100 percent - is Nina Simone. She's my ultimate pianist-singer-type person.
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
Places that have experienced great defeat experience a kind of rebirth, which I think America has to do - unless we want to get more decrepit. I don't think we have to destroy the place totally.
Rufus Wainwright
All these poses of classical torture ruined my mind like a snake in the orchard. I did go from wanting to be someone, now I'm drunk and wearing flip-flops on Fifth Avenue.
Rufus Wainwright
I like to sing to Verdi, I like singing to Sibelius, and Mahler maybe.
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
My mother and father could not handle even me being gay. We never talked about it really.
Rufus Wainwright
Being uncool is being pretty much the coolest you can be.
Rufus Wainwright
When it comes to sitting down and composing, there is no hesitation, no concern, no critics breathing fire down my neck. For me, writing a song is the purest part of all. No one can mess with that.
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
Let the little fairy in you fly!
Rufus Wainwright
Unless I have my aunt or my boyfriend to take care of me, I'm a little pathetic.
Rufus Wainwright
I definitely have a Luddite's approach to what's going on. I find that as I get older, I get stupider.
Rufus Wainwright
I've developed into quite a swan. I'm one of those people that will probably look better and better as I get older - until I drop dead of beauty.
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
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 still believe that love is the most powerful force in the world, even though I am yet to experience it fully.
Rufus Wainwright
