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 could always escape into this demi-monde of homosexuality, which I feel really indebted to. It stopped me being a 'mummy's boy.'
Rufus Wainwright
Image
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.

Let the little fairy in you fly!
Rufus Wainwright
Image
I think I've done a pretty fantastic job, but of course I want to sell millions of records.
Rufus Wainwright
Image
I believe in freedom Freedom's apparently all I need But who's ever been free in this world? Who has never had to bleed in this world?
Rufus Wainwright
Image
Being uncool is being pretty much the coolest you can be.
Rufus Wainwright
Image
I've paid the price I definitely have a reputation that precedes me, and there is a camp that plots my demise. But then again... it's funner that way.
Rufus Wainwright
Image
I am regarded as a usurper, as an imposter and dilettante, because I do technically come from the wrong side of the tracks in musical terms.
Rufus Wainwright
Image
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
Image
Well, my great lesson with that was I went to the same production twice - once completely high and once completely sober - and both times were equally wonderful.

Cigarettes and chocolate milk These are just a couple of my cravings Everything it seems I like's a little bit stronger A little bit thicker A little bit harmful for me.
