Rufus Wainwright Quotes

For me, the iPhone is harder than reading Faust Picture Quote #1

Somebody curse the light And take me far away from myself Picture Quote #1

Life is the longest death in California Picture Quote #1

I love being not cool Picture Quote #1

Life is the longest death in California, Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I bemoan the fact that all my famous friends have places in St. Bart’s and I have to go to Montauk Picture Quote #1

When I wrote the opera, I made a deal with myself that for at least an hour a day I would work on it, even if it meant just sitting on my piano bench, staring into space and thinking about it. It’s about keeping it regular, like your bowel movements - let’s get real: it’s your bodily artistic movements! It comes from the same place Picture Quote #1

The Germany I was enthused with was more old fashioned and kind of romantic. I just got there, and the next thing you know, I had this huge gilded album. It was kind of an amazing experience because I didn’t intend it to be that way Picture Quote #1

New York is not the centre for American culture and art that it once was because of the forces of conservatism. Giuliani, capitalism - and then there was 9/11. I really believe that if I leave, it will suffer! Maybe that’s why I love it here, because I feel wanted Picture Quote #1

My parents were serious working musicians, but they were not stars - not like pop stars that you have now. They had to make a living and that meant touring, working hard, going on the road - and we were roped in Picture Quote #1

I’m not born again, I’m not Kabbalah, God forbid, but I did have an experience hitting 30 that I needed to lean on something that assured me that everything is going to be okay. I had to regain a lot of my belief in fairy tales, in happy endings Picture Quote #1

I made the decision to take on board the critical feedback. Reviews are something you can easily ignore as a performer or writer but I chose to not ignore them here and I think that I benefited. I think I’m stronger for it - and I have a tougher skin as a result Picture Quote #1

For better or worse, I’ve always been curious musically. Whether it’s opera or Judy Garland or pop, I’ve deliberately sought those things out. I’ve never wanted to do the same things over and over. Some think I’ve accomplished what I set out to do, and others consider me a dilettante Picture Quote #1

Arguably, the relationship between Liza Minnelli and Judy Garland is one of the great mother-daughter sagas of all time. Certainly, for certain people, and a lot of them, Liza is the bigger star. Liza is the more kind of viable legend, shall we say. Then there’s the other camp, where Judy is the one Picture Quote #1

I very much faced my mother’s death with hard, arduous and time-consuming labor. The more I would do, the less I would feel Picture Quote #1

I think the minute you mention death, people run for the hills - unless it’s heavy metal. People do not like death Picture Quote #1

I do not consider myself a guitar player. My father is a guitar player - I’m not Picture Quote #1

I could always escape into this demi-monde of homosexuality, which I feel really indebted to. It stopped me being a ‘mummy’s boy.’ Picture Quote #1

Why be in music, why write songs, if you can’t use them to explore life or an idealized vision of life? I believe a lot of our lives are spent asleep, and what I’ve been trying to do is hold on to those moments when a little spark cuts through the fog and nudges you Picture Quote #1

There’s no life without humour. It can make the wonderful moments of life truly glorious, and it can make tragic moments bearable Picture Quote #1

I don’t really have a relationship with the guitar; it’s like my slutty lover, whereas I’m married to the piano Picture Quote #1

There is this church that I go to a lot in New York. I’m not religious but I love lighting candles and stuff. I find it useful Picture Quote #1

Some people go to Berlin to get more cutting edge; I went and started wearing lederhosen and going to visit baroque palaces Picture Quote #1

I’ve been thinking of trying my hand at rap. I’ve been recording snippets on my BlackBerry Picture Quote #1

I’ve always gravitated towards opera, and the Royal Opera House is quite possibly the greatest opera house on earth Picture Quote #1

I have this horrible, horrible habit of going on YouTube and checking out comments about what I do Picture Quote #1

Some people go to Berlin to get more cutting edge; I went and started wearing lederhosen and going to visit baroque palaces Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Wouldn’t Ponochio II be a great musical, now that he has to face the real world and get a wife... job. Now he wants to be a toy again Picture Quote #1
