Worthwhile Words
Rufus Wainwright on family competitiveness:
We all [felt competitive]. But my theory on the whole game is that once you're onstage, and the lights are on, and the mikes are turned up, there’s this third being that takes over. And it has no mother, it has no father, it has no siblings, it has no children. It’s just this force, and nothing will get in its way.
Now Your Turn . . .
