More quotes by Rufus Wainwright
I bemoan the fact that all my famous friends have places in St. Bart's and I have to go to Montauk.
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 definitely have a Luddite's approach to what's going on. I find that as I get older, I get stupider.
Rufus Wainwright
I may not lead the most dramatic life, but in my brain it's 'War and Peace' everyday.
Rufus Wainwright
You know the question: 'How do you get to Carnegie Hall?' Answer: 'Practise?' Well, in my case, I got there by not practising. I didn't finish my music degree. And when I got into the pop world, I decided not to conform because I figured that the point of being an artist was that you shouldn't be like anyone else.
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 think my mother, more than anyone, knew the importance of inspiration. If it was occurring, you had to use it.
Rufus Wainwright
I have a three-year-old daughter, which makes me more environmentally conscious. For me, it's about the future.
Rufus Wainwright
The song is about knowing the end result of every situation you're in, and being able to play it out in your mind and see it before it happens. It's about addiction, really, about knowing how it's all going to end up. In that sense, you're watching a movie of yourself all the time - and then you want out of that movie.
Rufus Wainwright
I'm 33 and in my Jesus year, and I want it all right now. I want a perfect body. I want to have a perfect love affair. I want every member of my family to be healthy and happy. And I want the world to save itself and for America to realize that it has to give up its idea of being an empire. Wait until I hit 40 then it'll all come crumbling dow
Rufus Wainwright
I like to try new things.
Rufus Wainwright
Once you've fallen from classical virtue, won't have a soul for to wake up and hold you.
Rufus Wainwright
Guess the world needs both sun And the moon too Sad with what I have except for you.
Rufus Wainwright
I will take my coffee black / never snack / hang with the wolves who are sheepish.
Rufus Wainwright
My dad and I have always been somewhat competitive.
Rufus Wainwright
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
Unless I have my aunt or my boyfriend to take care of me, I'm a little pathetic.
Rufus Wainwright
I like to think of myself as a combination of Sid Vicious and Virgil Thompson
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
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
