My hobby is extreme Catholic behavior - before the Reformation.

I loved Cookie [Mueller]. She was a much better writer than actress. She shouldn't have stuck with me in the beginning she should have immediately become a writer. She would have had more of a chance.

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.

Technique is nothing more than failed style.

Sometimes I wish I was a woman, just so I could have an abortion.

I understand why people want to look up their friends - usually they want to see what people they've wanted to have sex with look like.

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.

Catholics have more extreme sex lives because they're taught that pleasure is bad for you. Who thinks it's normal to kneel down to a naked man who's nailed to a cross? It's like a bad leather bar.

I always say you need something weird on your face and some good shoes and nobody looks in the middle.

Well cult is a word you would never say in Hollywood. In any film business, if you're trying to get your next film made, you would never say, Oh, my last film was a cult film. I'd say, Oh great, well I hope this one isn't!
John Waters

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.

How come there's no terrorism with humor, which is a great way to humiliate your enemy? It's a great time for that.

An underground hit didn't make any money and it cost a dollar to get in.

I used to joke that I was trying to sell out, and nobody would buy me.
John Waters
Image
I do like Christmas. I do understand that there are people who hate it, and there are other religions that resent it. So, I speak to everybody - I try to speak to every kind of minority and majority that cannot escape the steamroller known as Christmas.

I could never kill myself. I approve of suicide if you have horrible health. Otherwise it's the ultimate hissy fit.

I love hipsters! Yes, I think they're hilarious. The really cute ones try to look ugly just to prove I can't be ugly. Normcore was kind of funny too.

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

You see a kid making a film on a cell phone. He doesn't know what he's doing either. But it comes out kind of good.
