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.

More quotes by John Waters
You have to remember the police used to raid and arrest the audience for seeing Scorpio Rising (1964), or Jack Smith movies. Wouldn't that be exciting today, if you see went to the movie and everyone at the IFC was arrested in a paddy wagon and taken away?
John Waters
I'll have pot in my home for guests - I'm polite! - but I don't sit around and smoke by myself, ever. Not like I did when I was young.
John Waters
Coke didn't last long enough it gave me a hangover for two weeks for being high for ten minutes.
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
Watching a movie should be like hunting. Out of context, every image of the cinema is yours for a split second. Take them before they bury it.
John Waters
The only way I've learned to change anyone's mind politically is to make them laugh. My whole career has been about that.
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 mean, what is prison, really, except a good bar without the liquor?

John Waters
People who want to act rich when they're upper-middle class. They try too hard.
John Waters
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
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.
John Waters
Don’t sleep with people who don’t read.
John Waters
The only time I had a normal boyfriend was during the time of AIDS, so maybe that saved me. It's certainly not karma.
John Waters
[My catholic education] sticked with me. It caused the rage I had to make 'Pink Flamingos.'
John Waters
Sometimes I wish I was a woman, just so I could have an abortion.
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
Without obsession, life is nothing.
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
Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday because I don't have to do anything except bring wine and go to my sister's all day and go to the movies with the family. So, actually, Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday, but there's not much comedy material on Thanksgiving. Melatonin really isn't that funny.
