Rufus Wainwright admits his folk singer sister Martha “is as talented, if not more, than me — and it’s taken me years to even state that.”
He tells Naomi Watts in Hamptons magazine, “I was very much the typical older brother, an attention hog, and thought the whole world revolved around me. My mother [Kate McGarrigle] and I were essentially in love . . . My mother certainly adored my sister, but it was a bit of a tougher relationship . . . a lot of anger and jealousy, but therefore a lot of fuel for her to work on her own stuff.”
