More quotes by Rufus Wainwright
My greatest experiences in the theatre and the most religious experiences in my life - of which going to the opera is one for me - have been with the Romantic composers' repertoire: it's Wagner, it's Strauss, Verdi, Puccini. That era gets me every time.
Rufus Wainwright
I've written songs for Shirley Bassey, Marianne Faithfull, and Linda Thompson. I sort of focus on these wonderful, aging divas. But maybe that's because I think I'm Christina Aguilera.
Rufus Wainwright
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
I'm very fit on tour. I try to eat well, try to sleep. But it's still rock n' roll.
Rufus Wainwright
I don't want to hold you and feel so helpless I don't want to smell you and lose my senses And smile in slow motion With eyes in love.
Rufus Wainwright
Certainly in terms of my life - anybody's life - you go through death, childbirth and marriage, glory and defeat, and so on.
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
You get to a certain age, and you feel the need to reward yourself just for existing.
Rufus Wainwright
I like to think of myself as a combination of Sid Vicious and Virgil Thompson
Rufus Wainwright
It seems like the older I get, the more unreal the world becomes.
Rufus Wainwright
For me, the iPhone is harder than reading Faust.
Rufus Wainwright
I'm very much a romantic. I'm highly attuned to an older sensibility, which I believe is alive and well. We're not that far ahead of the Romantic Age in society.
Rufus Wainwright
I was in the forest jumping around daffodils while everyone was high on heroin.
Rufus Wainwright
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!
Rufus Wainwright
I find so many songwriters today are missing an element ... either the production is amazing but the songs aren't, or it's the other way around.
Rufus Wainwright
I've been thinking of trying my hand at rap. I've been recording snippets on my BlackBerry.
Rufus Wainwright
My mother's songs are really turning out to be masterpieces. I have inherited this incredible legacy and am so fortunate to bathe in her sensibilities. It is tinged with tragedy. I'd much rather she was here in person, but there is still a positive force to come out of her death and that is having the gift of music that she gave.
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
If I had had more of a strategic attitude towards how to reveal my sexuality, and if I'd even played with it a little more, I could have sold a lot more albums and been a lot more famous.
Rufus Wainwright
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.
