[My catholic education] sticked with me. It caused the rage I had to make 'Pink Flamingos.'
John Waters

Stupid is never that entertaining. You can be stupid and sexy, stupid and funny but he's just plain stupid. That is not remarkable, that's what I mean.
John Waters
Image
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.
John Waters
Image
As far as socially redeeming value, I hope I don't have any.
John Waters
Image
People still come to Baltimore and say, I didn't realize you made documentaries.
John Waters
Image
I'd love to sell out completely. It's just that nobody has been willing to buy.

There was a cultural war going on, the '60s was going on. All the film critics were square.

Anyone from my past I'm interested in, I've already stalked their homes. I like to go outside.

Insider can be more ludicrous. How did I ever end up [as one]? Carsick [Waters's book on hitchhiking] was on the New York Times best-seller list for five weeks. [One of the characters was] a singing asshole that does a duet with Connie Francis! Times have changed. That's mainstream, in a weird way.

When I was young, no one wanted to be one now even the President of the United States would call himself an outsider. So now I'm for insiders.
John Waters
Image
I like the word 'underground'... 'independent' carries a stigma of whininess. 'Underground' means a good time.
John Waters
Image
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!

No comedy should be longer than 90 minutes. There's no such thing as a good long joke.

Image
I always wanted to be a juvenile delinquent but my parents wouldn't let me.
John Waters
Image
My idea of an interesting person is someone who is quite proud of their seemingly abnormal life and turns their disadvantage into a career.

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
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.

Image
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
Image
Dreamland Studios then was my bedroom at my parents' house, mostly [starring] people who were in my high school. They look straight at the camera they're uncomfortable doing it. So, are [early movies] good? No.

A lot of kids are moving to Baltimore, because we have a great music scene and we've got edge. Come on down, we've got scary edge. But great edge - it's still a city you can be a bohemian in.
