More quotes by John Waters
I don't believe in depression. There's no such thing. It's an invention. It's bullshit, it's a cop out.
John Waters
My films can be considered political action against the tyranny of good taste.
John Waters
I never thought I'd be 52 years old. I don't think that anybody at 16 thinks like that.
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
Everybody should wish they had home movies of themselves, acting out their lunacy on LSD.
John Waters
The further away I am from water, the less well I do!
John Waters
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.
John Waters
There was a cultural war going on, the '60s was going on. All the film critics were square.
John Waters
It isn't enough to shock. It's easy to shock. Real surprise is what I'm after.
John Waters
I would describe myself as a writer that hopes to take you into my world and help you feel a little safer.
John Waters
Shutting down governments on your computer is just as much as fun as going to a riot at Yale.
John Waters
God knows if you could start a new sex act that's more important than making a good movie.
John Waters
I could never kill myself. I approve of suicide if you have horrible health. Otherwise it's the ultimate hissy fit.
John Waters
I always say you need something weird on your face and some good shoes and nobody looks in the middle.
John Waters
You have to remember that it is impossible to commit a crime while reading a book.
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
Watching a movie should be like hunting. Out of context, every image of the cinema is yours for a split second. Take them before they bury it.
John Waters
When they throw the water on the witch, she says, “Who would have thought a good little girl like you could destroy my beautiful wickedness”. That line inspired my life. I sometimes say it to myself before I go to sleep, like a prayer.
John Waters
An underground hit didn't make any money and it cost a dollar to get in.
John Waters
No comedy should be longer than 90 minutes. There's no such thing as a good long joke.
John Waters
