More quotes by John Waters
If you're a parent, I tell you how to get through Christmas. I think that if you've ever had a bad feeling about Christmas coming, I'll tell you how to deal with it. So, I think in a way it's like going to a sane psychiatrist that actually gives you some good advice, I hope!
John Waters
I think that young people understand me perfectly. I think that's the luckiest thing about my career, that I get older and they get younger, and it didn't stop with my generation.
John Waters
Don’t sleep with people who don’t read.
John Waters
Contemporary art hates you.
John Waters
I came from a generation where women were almost deified, and like Groucho Marx's line, I wouldn't want to be a member of a club that would have me as a member, I thought, I wouldn't want to sleep with a woman who would sleep with me! It took me a long time to work my way through that.
John Waters
No comedy should be longer than 90 minutes. There's no such thing as a good long joke.
John Waters
You go to school to figure out who you want to be and how you can do it, and [maybe] I should have, because the films would probably be technically better.
John Waters
The anger I have about high school - which I do have because they discouraged every interest I ever had actually I call it anti-education - that anger led to my career.
John Waters
I never had any desire to get a tattoo. If I was ever going to get one, I would get a plain anchor with a rope around it, the most unimaginative possible tattoo, like Popeye had.
John Waters
Everyone wants to be called an outsider so I'm a proud insider. If I was young I'd be in my parents' house shutting down the government on my computer. The new delinquent is the hacker.
John Waters
With Hairspray, we had a great experience. I always think of the last time I saw Divine: He was in the last booth in the back of the Odeon. Now every time I go in there, I look at that table. It was a wonderful night.Hairspray had been out a week it was a hit. If I had to pick a night that was going to be the last night.
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
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.
John Waters
I think the extremes are something that's really interesting to see coalesce in movies.
John Waters
Baltimore never changes much. People aren't impressed by anything. It's great it's not a trendy town.
John Waters
Humor is how you change people's opinions, and if you can make someone laugh, they'll listen, even if they hate you.
John Waters
My idea of rich is that you can buy every book you ever want without looking at the price and you're never around assholes. That's the two things to really fight for in life.
John Waters
It reinforced everything that I believe. I am an optimist. I believe in the goodness of people.
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
I loved Cookie [Mueller]. She was a much better writer than actress. She shouldn't have stuck with me in the beginning she should have immediately become a writer. She would have had more of a chance.
