Martha Wainwright Quotes

You have to be willing to give a lot to be in a relationship with me because a lot of the time it’s about me Picture Quote #1

I play in bars all the time in the States, so I’m kind of used to it. I’ve just got off the road with the family in Australia, and I enjoyed it but it feels really good to be getting back to doing this stuff Picture Quote #1

I’m in hotel rooms night after night, playing a lot of the same venues as my dad and carrying the guitar that used to be his. We’re the same person. I don’t know if he realises how much of a legacy he has left to his children Picture Quote #1

I’ve always been given respect because I’m kind of mannish, and I’m not a great beauty. I’ve never played the coquette card because I’m no good at it Picture Quote #1

I’m not very prolific. I’m not good at sitting down as an artist and saying ‘Okay, I need to put in my four hours today Picture Quote #1
