Don’t sleep with people who don’t read.
John Waters

I was as equally influenced by Bergman as I was [low-budget sexploitation filmmaker].
John Waters
Image
How come there's no terrorism with humor, which is a great way to humiliate your enemy? It's a great time for that.
John Waters
Image
I think [parents] became very proud, even though they were mortified by the early films because no one liked them.
John Waters
Image
My idea of rich is that you can buy every book you ever want without looking at the price and you're never around assholes. That's the two things to really fight for in life.
John Waters
Image
You have to remember that it is impossible to commit a crime while reading a book.
John Waters
Image
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.
John Waters
Image
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
Image
People who want to act rich when they're upper-middle class. They try too hard.
John Waters

I can't tell the difference between the best and the worst 'cause I realize not everybody wants to have sex in the middle of a demolition derby race in the car.
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.

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
How could you think of such awful things? liberal critics always ask. How else could I possibly amuse myself? I always wonder.
John Waters
Image
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
Image
I understand why people want to look up their friends - usually they want to see what people they've wanted to have sex with look like.
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
I actually think that my films are intellectual. I think almost everything I do is intellectual, but I would never say that, because that's a compliment. That's up to others to say about me. The same way, I would never say I do art. I think art is up to history. It's up to other people to utter that word. So I try to be humble.

Terrible things always seemed to happen to hitchhikers in movies - including my own. It has always been glamorous and dangerous and scary and sexy.
John Waters
Image
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.

I wish something on T.V. would trouble me. Then maybe I would watch it.
