More quotes by John Waters
Wealth is walking into any bookshop and buying any book you want without looking at the price tag.
John Waters
I'd love to sell out completely. It's just that nobody has been willing to buy.
John Waters
Technique is nothing more than failed style.
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 have no interest in cars. I have a plain, used Buick. I could run over 10 people, and you wouldn't be able to describe my car.
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
An underground hit didn't make any money and it cost a dollar to get in.
John Waters
Insider can be more ludicrous. How did I ever end up [as one]? Carsick [Waters's book on hitchhiking] was on the New York Times best-seller list for five weeks. [One of the characters was] a singing asshole that does a duet with Connie Francis! Times have changed. That's mainstream, in a weird way.
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 think the extremes are something that's really interesting to see coalesce in movies.
John Waters
Everybody should wish they had home movies of themselves, acting out their lunacy on LSD.
John Waters
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.
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 always want to see films that are startling and amazing. Not just shocking. Shocking is easy to do. But startling in the way that makes you change how you think about things. Those are the movies I like the best.
John Waters
I have to talk about my movies. I have to give interviews to promote what I'm doing. But no one really knows my personal life. And if you don't have a personal life I feel bad for you.
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
People that pick up hitchhikers I believe are basically good people that believe in other people and understand problems and don't judge people. That's always the kind of person I'm looking for.
John Waters
How could you think of such awful things? liberal critics always ask. How else could I possibly amuse myself? I always wonder.
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
I liked speed. I was on black beauties all the time. Nothing bad happened to me. I didn't become a drug addict because I always had to make a movie. We weren't stoned when we made them I was stoned when I made movies up. I did them all.
John Waters
