My mother had a lot of parties when I was a child. There'd always be a moment when she would place me on the upright piano and have me sing Somewhere 'Over the Rainbow'.

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.

I'm definitely a fan of juxta...

I'm definitely a fan of juxtaposition. Using the most beautiful line to say the most horrific thing - I think one of the main things in songwriting is definitely friction between the words and the melody.

Rufus Wainwright 174 quotes

I've paid the price; I defini...

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 174 quotes

It seems like the older I get...

It seems like the older I get, the more unreal the world becomes.

Rufus Wainwright 174 quotes

I should write a musical. Tha...

I should write a musical. That is probably one of the final areas that I should pay attention to, because it does kind of involve everything. It's got theatre, it's got young, pretty people... And it's got money!

My love of maple syrup. I've ...

My love of maple syrup. I've been known to knock back a can over a couple days: A swig here, a swig there, and next thing you know it's gone. It's a habit I have to stave off. I don't want to lose all my teeth.

Rufus Wainwright 174 quotes

The thing I hate most is fals...

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 174 quotes

I think everybody identified ...

I think everybody identified at a pretty young age that I was fairly entranced with myself. And that I had to be tempered.

Rufus Wainwright 174 quotes

You get to a certain age, and...

You get to a certain age, and you feel the need to reward yourself just for existing.

I'm very fit on tour. I try to eat well, try to sleep. But it's still rock n' roll.

Rufus Wainwright 174 quotes

I think the minute you mentio...

I think the minute you mention death, people run for the hills - unless it's heavy metal. People do not like death.

Rufus Wainwright 174 quotes

I've been thinking of trying ...

I've been thinking of trying my hand at rap. I've been recording snippets on my BlackBerry.

I have an ounce of Lady Gaga'...

I have an ounce of Lady Gaga's full-bodied ambition.

Rufus Wainwright 174 quotes

In the music business, to sur...

In the music business, to survive for so long, you have to be able to cut off from your emotions sometimes. And being a father, you're faced with that situation. I know that my father was, with me. I understand why he had to be distant, because to rip yourself away, time after time, is almost more devastating.

Rufus Wainwright 174 quotes

I think I've done a pretty fantastic job, but of course I want to sell millions of records.

Rufus Wainwright 174 quotes

I still believe that love is the most powerful force in the world, even though I am yet to experience it fully.

I like to sing to Verdi, I like singing to Sibelius, and Mahler maybe.

Rufus Wainwright 174 quotes

My dad and I have always been somewhat competitive.

Rufus Wainwright 174 quotes

I've always gravitated towards opera, and the Royal Opera House is quite possibly the greatest opera house on earth.
