I don't believe in depression. There's no such thing. It's an invention. It's bullshit, it's a cop out.

More quotes by John Waters
God knows if you could start a new sex act that's more important than making a good movie.
John Waters
It isn't enough to shock. It's easy to shock. Real surprise is what I'm after.
John Waters
I came from a generation where women were almost deified, and like Groucho Marx's line, I wouldn't want to be a member of a club that would have me as a member, I thought, I wouldn't want to sleep with a woman who would sleep with me! It took me a long time to work my way through that.
John Waters
I love radical theorists. But at the same time, I don't agree with them a lot, but I love their theories. I love how they intellectualize rage, and this inner battle that such a tiny percent of people really care about. I find that the most interesting.
John Waters
Stop blaming your parents. If you're really angry at 60 years old, you're an idiot! You've got to work some of it out.
John Waters
Hairspray is the only movie I made that's subversive, because they're doing it in every high school in America. A man's playing a woman, and two men sing a love song to each other.
John Waters
If you're a parent, I tell you how to get through Christmas. I think that if you've ever had a bad feeling about Christmas coming, I'll tell you how to deal with it. So, I think in a way it's like going to a sane psychiatrist that actually gives you some good advice, I hope!
John Waters
Technique is nothing more than failed style.
John Waters
Coke didn't last long enough it gave me a hangover for two weeks for being high for ten minutes.
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 always wanted to be a juvenile delinquent but my parents wouldn't let me.
John Waters
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.
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
There is right and there is wrong, I have NEVER been wrong.
John Waters
I can't tell the difference between the best and the worst 'cause I realize not everybody wants to have sex in the middle of a demolition derby race in the car.
John Waters
You go to school to figure out who you want to be and how you can do it, and [maybe] I should have, because the films would probably be technically better.
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
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
As far as socially redeeming value, I hope I don't have any.
John Waters
Many hundred-million-dollar Hollywood comedies aren't any good. They're trying to shock you.
John Waters
