More quotes by Rufus Wainwright
And you will believe in love And all that it's supposed to be But just until the fish start to smell And you're struck down by a hammer.
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 more hedonistic you were, the better...I very much subscribed to that as a young artist.
Rufus Wainwright
Let the little fairy in you fly!
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'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

Rufus Wainwright
My dad and I have always been somewhat competitive.
Rufus Wainwright
The thing I hate most is false modesty. The artists who are, like, Oh, you know, I'm really not that good. Oh, I can't believe I'm here. I find it vaguely sinister, even.
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
Everything I do, I feel is genius. Whether it is or it isn't.
Rufus Wainwright
Every video I do is over budget by the time I walk on set. I am massively extravagant in my personal habits.
Rufus Wainwright
Writing an opera and premiering in England, you could say I was going right into the eye of the storm and I came out successfully. A little tattered and bruised, but so what, I made it.
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
My cheeks explode when I smile. Thats why I have to look so nonplussed.
Rufus Wainwright
I want to carve out a serious period of time to focus on the next opera without any distractions. And to do that you need money.
Rufus Wainwright
In retrospect, I'm really shocked at how far I put my heart out there on the line with 'Prima Donna'. I seem to have this knack for being able to accomplish that.
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 really do fear that I'm dying I really do fear that I'm dead I saw it in your eyes what I'm looking for I saw it in your eyes what will make me live.
Rufus Wainwright
Unless I have my aunt or my boyfriend to take care of me, I'm a little pathetic.
Rufus Wainwright
