Unless I have my aunt or my boyfriend to take care of me, I'm a little pathetic.

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
And I am left behind Corrupted crushed and blind All for a dream That in truth was never really mine.
Rufus Wainwright

Rufus Wainwright
I came out of the closet very young, and I had to cut my teeth pretty fast.
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
I still believe that love is the most powerful force in the world, even though I am yet to experience it fully.
Rufus Wainwright
I like to try new things.
