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.

An underground hit didn't make any money and it cost a dollar to get in.
John Waters

The anger I have about high school - which I do have because they discouraged every interest I ever had actually I call it anti-education - that anger led to my career.
John Waters
Image
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.
John Waters
Image
People vomitied at my movies not because of the movie but because they were drunk. I took credit anyway.

I'm a film director. Gay is an adjective that I certainly am, but I don't know that it's my first one. I think if you're just a gay filmmaker, you get pigeonholed just like if you say I'm a black filmmaker, I'm a Spanish filmmaker, I'm a whatever.

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.

People still come to Baltimore and say, I didn't realize you made documentaries.
John Waters
Image
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.

Going to a sensational murder trial is the only way I can relax.
John Waters
Image
I used to joke that I was trying to sell out, and nobody would buy me.
John Waters
Image
I haven't committed all the crimes in my movies, I would have gotten the death penalty many years ago if I had.
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.
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
Anyone from my past I'm interested in, I've already stalked their homes. I like to go outside.

Image
People who want to act rich when they're upper-middle class. They try too hard.
John Waters

The way I photograph... in many ways it's directed by chance and all my mistakes, which are often the best stuff. I found that no matter if it's the same tape, the same TV, and the same camera, I can never duplicate an image... your arm jiggles, there's just too much chance. And I never put it on pause, or use any of that fancy equipment.

I think it's all independent films. There aren't any! If they were looking for me when I was making Polyester, then it'd be perfect, but they're not. I'm not looking for that. TV is much bigger and better now far more people see it.

I am on the road all the time. Whether I'm in Paris or in a small college town in Texas, I can't tell the difference, and that's good. You don't have to leave where you were born to be cool anymore.

I tried heroin. I shot up in high school, but I just thought it was so dreary: puking and nodding.

God knows if you could start a new sex act that's more important than making a good movie.
