Once you've fallen from classical virtue, won't have a soul for to wake up and hold you.

Growing up, for years and years I had no idea what the plots of operas were, and that's part of what fascinated me - I could make them up and learn bits and pieces of what was going on over time. There's something about it being always a step away that makes it more fun to chase.

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.

I like to sing to Verdi, I like singing to Sibelius, and Mahler maybe.

Madonna created a monster that sucks up souls.

I've always gravitated towards opera, and the Royal Opera House is quite possibly the greatest opera house on earth.
Rufus Wainwright
Image
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.

I do not consider myself a guitar player. My father is a guitar player - I'm not.

I like to try new things.

Life is the longest death in California.

I have a three-year-old daughter, which makes me more environmentally conscious. For me, it's about the future.

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.

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!
