The only way I've learned to change anyone's mind politically is to make them laugh. My whole career has been about that.

Baltimore never changes much. People aren't impressed by anything. It's great it's not a trendy town.
John Waters
Image
Everyone wants to be called an outsider so I'm a proud insider. If I was young I'd be in my parents' house shutting down the government on my computer. The new delinquent is the hacker.
John Waters
Image
Maybe there is no better novel in the world than Denton Welch's In Youth Is Pleasure. Just holding it in my hands, so precious, so beyond gay, so deliciously subversive, is enough to make illiteracy a worse social crime than hunger.

I hitchhiked at high school. My parents thought was a perfectly normal thing to do even though God knows I got blown a lot of times riding home from school.

I always wanted to be a juvenile delinquent but my parents wouldn't let me.

I've bought the same used car from the same man since I was 16 - a Buick every time. They always work, I don't care what color it is. I don't want people to recognize my car in case I want to commit a crime.

Anytime you make someone laugh or satirize something, it's the best way to change someone's opinion because they're defenseless - they laugh, they 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
Image
Stupid is never that entertaining. You can be stupid and sexy, stupid and funny but he's just plain stupid. That is not remarkable, that's what I mean.
John Waters
Image
Maybe I'll just write books. I'd like to make another movie, but I don't want to go back and [do] what they want you to do, to make it for a million dollars. I did that. I don't need a lot, but I need what I used to get, and they don't give you that anymore.

It isn't enough to shock. It's easy to shock. Real surprise is what I'm after.
John Waters
Image
I'm thrilled to have a completely new audience that I can get from Court TV, without it being my own trial. That was the only other way I would have gotten it.

Image
I like the word 'underground'... 'independent' carries a stigma of whininess. 'Underground' means a good time.

Image
So many great people are dead, and so many assholes I know are still alive. Karma's bullshit. I wish it was true, but it ain't.
John Waters

And I seek people who break rules with happiness — and not bringing pain to themselves.
John Waters

Humor is how you change people's opinions, and if you can make someone laugh, they'll listen, even if they hate you.

I keep on having ideas and developments. Some happen and some don't, but I still always have a way of telling a story.
