More quotes by John Waters
My idea of rich is that you can buy every book you ever want without looking at the price and you're never around assholes. That's the two things to really fight for in life.
John Waters
Shutting down governments on your computer is just as much as fun as going to a riot at Yale.

People who want to act rich when they're upper-middle class. They try too hard.

It was a wonderful night.Hairspray had been out a week it was a hit. If I had to pick a night that was going to be the last night.

John Waters
The only time I had a normal boyfriend was during the time of AIDS, so maybe that saved me. It's certainly not karma.
John Waters
I imagine Johnny Mathis hates Bin Laden as much as I do, but could Johnny agree Bin Laden had a better speechwriter than Bush? Axis of Evil? Come on. A swimmer in the ocean does not fear the rain is much more powerful propaganda. Poetic, even.
John Waters
I love to read about anger. A feel bad book always makes me feel good. And no other novel in the history of literature is more depressing than Christina Stead's The Man Who Loved Children.
John Waters
I've signed peoples' parole cards at book signings and it's very touching.
John Waters
I could never kill myself. I approve of suicide if you have horrible health. Otherwise it's the ultimate hissy fit.
John Waters
My hobby is extreme Catholic behavior - before the Reformation.
John Waters
You have to remember that it is impossible to commit a crime while reading a book.
John Waters
