Quote

If you ever go home with somebody and they don't have books in their house, don't sleep with them. I think that's very important.

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
Image
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
Image
I was as equally influenced by Bergman as I was [low-budget sexploitation filmmaker].
John Waters
Image
My idea of an interesting person is someone who is quite proud of their seemingly abnormal life and turns their disadvantage into a career.
John Waters
Image
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
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
Image
I've signed dicks, asses, parole cards, a colostomy bag while it was still pumping. A couple of years ago, I signed a bloody Tampax. That's one you don't forget. I'm not asking for someone to top that!

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!

You have to remember that it is impossible to commit a crime while reading a book.

Image
An underground hit didn't make any money and it cost a dollar to get in.
John Waters
Image
It reinforced everything that I believe. I am an optimist. I believe in the goodness of people.
John Waters
Image
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
I like the word 'underground'... 'independent' carries a stigma of whininess. 'Underground' means a good time.
John Waters
Image
People who want to act rich when they're upper-middle class. They try too hard.
John Waters
Image
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
Image
I keep on having ideas and developments. Some happen and some don't, but I still always have a way of telling a story.
John Waters
Image
I tried heroin. I shot up in high school, but I just thought it was so dreary: puking and nodding.

The further away I am from water, the less well I do!

There are little things that get on my nerves, like people who have reading material in their powder room. When you go in someone’s house, and next to the toilet they have a huge basket of magazines, I find that repellent. I recommend against straining while reading.

Things are going great in every part of my life except movies. That's okay. I've got a lot of other parts of my life. I've made 15 movies. You can see any one of my movies and it says the same thing.
