More quotes by John Waters
I make a great part of my living by traveling and speaking. To me, it's like being a politician, you meet your audience, you constantly see the people and they're getting younger for me which is really, really encouraging. I get older and my audience gets younger. It couldn't be better.
John Waters
I was as equally influenced by Bergman as I was [low-budget sexploitation filmmaker].
John Waters
My idea of an interesting person is someone who is quite proud of their seemingly abnormal life and turns their disadvantage into a career.
John Waters
I keep on having ideas and developments. Some happen and some don't, but I still always have a way of telling a story.
John Waters
Don’t sleep with people who don’t read.
John Waters
I think that young people understand me perfectly. I think that's the luckiest thing about my career, that I get older and they get younger, and it didn't stop with my generation.
John Waters
I think the best article was the article about radical feminists being against transgender women. I found that the most fascinating article and I absolutely loved it. I love battles within the gay community or feminist community. I love radical theorists.
John Waters
The worst thing you can do is make a cult movie. That means you got three great reviews and nobody went. An art film means it got a lot of good reviews and nobody went. There is no such thing as a counter culture now. What used to be considered that is commercial now.
John Waters
I haven't committed all the crimes in my movies, I would have gotten the death penalty many years ago if I had.
John Waters
A psychiatrist once told me early in treatment, Stop trying to make me like you, and what a sobering and welcome smack in the face that statement was. Yet somehow, every day of my life is still a campaign for popularity, or better yet, a crowded funeral.
John Waters
An underground hit didn't make any money and it cost a dollar to get in.
John Waters
Ever feel like killing somebody just to see if you could get away with it? Sure, you have. Everybody has little things that get on their nerves.
John Waters
I have spoken, and I was understood. It's not like I'm a tragic person who wasn't understood. All those books are in print, all those movies are still out there, the audience gets younger. So I don't have that I've got to do one thing before I die. I did it.
John Waters
True success is figuring out your life and career so you never have to be around jerks.
John Waters
I think it's all independent films. There aren't any! If they were looking for me when I was making Polyester, then it'd be perfect, but they're not. I'm not looking for that. TV is much bigger and better now far more people see it.
John Waters
I'd rather have a daughter in a whorehouse than a son in the police force,' Esther used to rage to anyone who would listen.
John Waters
People always ask me what I'm doing on the subway, but I love it! Sometimes I like to ride in the front car and look out the window at the rats.
John Waters
I never thought I'd be 52 years old. I don't think that anybody at 16 thinks like that.
John Waters
Dreamland Studios then was my bedroom at my parents' house, mostly [starring] people who were in my high school. They look straight at the camera they're uncomfortable doing it. So, are [early movies] good? No.
John Waters
It reinforced everything that I believe. I am an optimist. I believe in the goodness of people.
John Waters
