I'm the smartest at 8 A.M. I wake up at 6, drink three cups of Awake Tazo Tea and read five newspapers. I have to think up something every day, Monday to Friday.

I think Chelsea Girls is a complete masterpiece and I think Andy's [Warhol] films are equally as good as the art. I think one day they will be considered equal. They aren't yet. They will be.

I went to a Catholic high school, which, to this day, I could burn down. And I got great revenge because they had their fiftieth anniversary, andThe Baltimore Sun called me and said, ‘What did you think of your high school?’ And I said, ‘They discouraged every interest I ever had.’ And I saw that in print.

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.

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!

My films can be considered political action against the tyranny of good taste.
John Waters
Image
I've signed peoples' parole cards at book signings and it's very touching.
John Waters

I could never kill myself. I approve of suicide if you have horrible health. Otherwise it's the ultimate hissy fit.

Life is a rotten lottery.
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.

Many hundred-million-dollar Hollywood comedies aren't any good. They're trying to shock you.
John Waters

I never thought I'd be 52 years old. I don't think that anybody at 16 thinks like that.
John Waters
Image
I have no interest in cars. I have a plain, used Buick. I could run over 10 people, and you wouldn't be able to describe my car.

I'd rather have a daughter in a whorehouse than a son in the police force,' Esther used to rage to anyone who would listen.

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.

I keep on having ideas and developments. Some happen and some don't, but I still always have a way of telling a story.
