More quotes by John Waters
When I was young, no one wanted to be one now even the President of the United States would call himself an outsider. So now I'm for insiders.
John Waters
I tried heroin. I shot up in high school, but I just thought it was so dreary: puking and nodding.
John Waters
Many hundred-million-dollar Hollywood comedies aren't any good. They're trying to shock you.
John Waters
I never thought I'd be 52 years old. I don't think that anybody at 16 thinks like that.
John Waters
I'd love to sell out completely. It's just that nobody has been willing to buy.
John Waters
The way I photograph... in many ways it's directed by chance and all my mistakes, which are often the best stuff. I found that no matter if it's the same tape, the same TV, and the same camera, I can never duplicate an image... your arm jiggles, there's just too much chance. And I never put it on pause, or use any of that fancy equipment.
John Waters
I'm the smartest at 8 A.M. I wake up at 6, drink three cups of Awake Tazo Tea and read five newspapers. I have to think up something every day, Monday to Friday.
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
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
My films can be considered political action against the tyranny of good taste.
John Waters
I wish something on T.V. would trouble me. Then maybe I would watch it.
John Waters
I don't believe in depression. There's no such thing. It's an invention. It's bullshit, it's a cop out.
John Waters
The anger I have about high school - which I do have because they discouraged every interest I ever had actually I call it anti-education - that anger led to my career.
John Waters
I'll have pot in my home for guests - I'm polite! - but I don't sit around and smoke by myself, ever. Not like I did when I was young.
John Waters
I like rap music. But bragging about being rich to poor people is really offensive. I want to hear a rap song about buying a Cy Twombly painting or dating a museum curator. I want to hear about that kind of rich.
John Waters
I learned that people like my work because I praise things that others don't like.
John Waters
Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday because I don't have to do anything except bring wine and go to my sister's all day and go to the movies with the family. So, actually, Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday, but there's not much comedy material on Thanksgiving. Melatonin really isn't that funny.
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
I probably would have made [films] anywhere. Every city has something they're ashamed of. I would have made films about it and turned it into something positive.
John Waters
Don’t sleep with people who don’t read.
