It took me a while to figure it out, but to have a real hit on Broadway, you have to get the respected Broadway people to like it. But then the production also has to appeal to the most middle-class people who know nothing about Broadway and who come to see it later.

How could you think of such awful things? liberal critics always ask. How else could I possibly amuse myself? I always wonder.
John Waters

People vomitied at my movies not because of the movie but because they were drunk. I took credit anyway.

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!

I go to colleges all the time in America, and everyone's gay, and I think how can this be? And it's only in rich schools. In poor schools, nobody's gay.

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.

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.

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.

God knows if you could start a new sex act that's more important than making a good movie.

I never thought I'd be 52 years old. I don't think that anybody at 16 thinks like that.

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

Image
I'd love to sell out completely. It's just that nobody has been willing to buy.

Hitchhiking, intrinsically, is sexual and dangerous. At the same time I never really felt scared. I was scared that nobody would pick me up and that I'd be waiting by the side of the road for a week.

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.

There is right and there is wrong, I have NEVER been wrong.

I wish something on T.V. would trouble me. Then maybe I would watch it.
