More quotes by John Waters
My hobby is extreme Catholic behavior - before the Reformation.
John Waters
Anytime you make someone laugh or satirize something, it's the best way to change someone's opinion because they're defenseless - they laugh, they listen.
John Waters
I built my [early] career on negative reviews. There was a cultural war going on, the '60s was going on. All the film critics were square. They hated my movies. You could never have that happen today. Critics are way too hip.
John Waters
It isn't enough to shock. It's easy to shock. Real surprise is what I'm after.
John Waters
I never got along in school really - I already knew what I wanted to do. I have never in my life got a paycheck from anywhere in the world that asked if I went to school.
John Waters
Many hundred-million-dollar Hollywood comedies aren't any good. They're trying to shock you.
John Waters
Everybody should wish they had home movies of themselves, acting out their lunacy on LSD.
John Waters
If you purposefully look to shock people, it isn't funny. That's what 50 million dollar Hollywood comedies do try to be shocking and dirty.
John Waters
I do like Christmas. I do understand that there are people who hate it, and there are other religions that resent it. So, I speak to everybody - I try to speak to every kind of minority and majority that cannot escape the steamroller known as Christmas.
John Waters
I always wanted to be a juvenile delinquent but my parents wouldn't let me.
John Waters
I don't trust anyone that hasn't been to jail at least once in their life.
John Waters
I love hipsters! Yes, I think they're hilarious. The really cute ones try to look ugly just to prove I can't be ugly. Normcore was kind of funny too.
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
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
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
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.
John Waters
I'd love to sell out completely. It's just that nobody has been willing to buy.
John Waters
People that pick up hitchhikers I believe are basically good people that believe in other people and understand problems and don't judge people. That's always the kind of person I'm looking for.
John Waters
Everything makes you who you are, so I was lucky that I had a good family that was horrified by what I wanted to do but was also supportive of it, right to the very end.
John Waters
God knows if you could start a new sex act that's more important than making a good movie.
John Waters
