Quote

I care about the presidential elections. I always vote. Sometimes I've voted more than once, illegally. But you can't anymore. The picture ID has ruined everything.

More quotes by John Waters

Image
And I seek people who break rules with happiness — and not bringing pain to themselves.
John Waters
Image
I always say you need something weird on your face and some good shoes and nobody looks in the middle.
John Waters
Image
People still come to Baltimore and say, I didn't realize you made documentaries.
John Waters
Image
True success is figuring out your life and career so you never have to be around jerks.
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

I was as equally influenced by Bergman as I was [low-budget sexploitation filmmaker].
John Waters
Image
You have to remember that it is impossible to commit a crime while reading a book.
John Waters
Image
I wish something on T.V. would trouble me. Then maybe I would watch it.
John Waters
Image
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
Image
I tried heroin. I shot up in high school, but I just thought it was so dreary: puking and nodding.
John Waters
Image
Baltimore never changes much. People aren't impressed by anything. It's great it's not a trendy town.
John Waters
Image
I love radical theorists. But at the same time, I don't agree with them a lot, but I love their theories. I love how they intellectualize rage, and this inner battle that such a tiny percent of people really care about. I find that the most interesting.
John Waters
Image
[My catholic education] sticked with me. It caused the rage I had to make 'Pink Flamingos.'
John Waters
Image
My hobby is extreme Catholic behavior - before the Reformation.

Image
Valentine's Day is my mother's birthday. If I'm wildly in love, I've sent people chicken hearts, which seems to appeal to the kind of person that I've been in love with.
John Waters
Image
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
Image
Fifty years seems like a good anniversary. Even after I'm dead, how much better could I get than this? I mean, it's great, I'm not dead, so I get to see it.
John Waters
Image
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.
John Waters
Image
It reinforced everything that I believe. I am an optimist. I believe in the goodness of people.

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.
