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.

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

Wealth is walking into any bookshop and buying any book you want without looking at the price tag.
John Waters
Image
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.

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
Image
I used to joke that I was trying to sell out, and nobody would buy me.
John Waters
Image
Maybe I'll just write books. I'd like to make another movie, but I don't want to go back and [do] what they want you to do, to make it for a million dollars. I did that. I don't need a lot, but I need what I used to get, and they don't give you that anymore.
John Waters
Image
And I seek people who break rules with happiness — and not bringing pain to themselves.
John Waters
Image
I make independent movies. I don't know how to do anything else. I don't know any other job that I could really get.

Image
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.

I've always tried to keep reinventing myself and to keep appealing to young people and when I go to colleges now and do my spoken-word show it's astounding to me how I get older and the audience gets younger. To me, that's the best compliment. That's better than money, that's better than anything.

I understand why people want to look up their friends - usually they want to see what people they've wanted to have sex with look like.

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.
