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!

More quotes by John Waters
I've bought the same used car from the same man since I was 16 - a Buick every time. They always work, I don't care what color it is. I don't want people to recognize my car in case I want to commit a crime.
John Waters
Aren't maids the ultimate art critics?
John Waters
Ever feel like killing somebody just to see if you could get away with it? Sure, you have. Everybody has little things that get on their nerves.
John Waters
If you purposefully look to shock people, it isn't funny. That's what 50 million dollar Hollywood comedies do try to be shocking and dirty.
John Waters
It isn't enough to shock. It's easy to shock. Real surprise is what I'm after.
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 was as equally influenced by Bergman as I was [low-budget sexploitation filmmaker].
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
How could you think of such awful things? liberal critics always ask. How else could I possibly amuse myself? I always wonder.
John Waters
Life is a rotten lottery.
John Waters
I like the word 'underground'... 'independent' carries a stigma of whininess. 'Underground' means a good time.
John Waters
Maybe there is no better novel in the world than Denton Welch's In Youth Is Pleasure. Just holding it in my hands, so precious, so beyond gay, so deliciously subversive, is enough to make illiteracy a worse social crime than hunger.
John Waters
[My catholic education] sticked with me. It caused the rage I had to make 'Pink Flamingos.'
John Waters
The only way I've learned to change anyone's mind politically is to make them laugh. My whole career has been about that.
John Waters
Everybody should wish they had home movies of themselves, acting out their lunacy on LSD.
John Waters
I built my [early] career on negative reviews. There was a cultural war going on, the '60s was going on. All the film critics were square. They hated my movies. You could never have that happen today. Critics are way too hip.
John Waters
Shutting down governments on your computer is just as much as fun as going to a riot at Yale.
John Waters
I like rap music. But bragging about being rich to poor people is really offensive. I want to hear a rap song about buying a Cy Twombly painting or dating a museum curator. I want to hear about that kind of rich.
John Waters
Wealth is walking into any bookshop and buying any book you want without looking at the price tag.
John Waters
I used to joke that I was trying to sell out, and nobody would buy me.
