Rufus Wainwright
I like to try new things.
Rufus Wainwright
I was in the forest jumping around daffodils while everyone was high on heroin.

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
Every video I do is over budget by the time I walk on set. I am massively extravagant in my personal habits.

I'm a big fan of the Pre-Raphaelites. Millais, Edward Burne-Jones, and I realised recently that my music is Pre-Raphaelite in a certain way, in that it reinvents an older era and romanticises it, puts it in this gilded frame.
Rufus Wainwright
My mother and father could not handle even me being gay. We never talked about it really.
Rufus Wainwright

Rufus Wainwright
I like to think of myself as a combination of Sid Vicious and Virgil Thompson
Rufus Wainwright

Rufus Wainwright
I may not lead the most dramatic life, but in my brain it's 'War and Peace' everyday.
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
The more hedonistic you were, the better...I very much subscribed to that as a young artist.
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
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.
