More quotes by Rufus Wainwright
Once you've fallen from classical virtue, won't have a soul for to wake up and hold you.
Rufus Wainwright
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
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
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

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
I'm a big fan of the Pre-Raphaelites. Millais, Edward Burne-Jones, and I realised recently that my music is Pre-Raphaelite in a certain way, in that it reinvents an older era and romanticises it, puts it in this gilded frame.
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
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 will take my coffee black / never snack / hang with the wolves who are sheepish.
Rufus Wainwright
The more hedonistic you were, the better...I very much subscribed to that as a young artist.
