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

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

Wealth is walking into any bookshop and buying any book you want without looking at the price tag.
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.

You have to remember that it is impossible to commit a crime while reading a book.

I've bought the same used car from the same man since I was 16 - a Buick every time. They always work, I don't care what color it is. I don't want people to recognize my car in case I want to commit a crime.

My hobby is extreme Catholic behavior - before the Reformation.

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

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.

Once I had a shrink who said, Your parents are the fuel you run on, because I was raised in the tyranny of good taste. If my parents hadn't taught me all that, I couldn't have made fun of it. So I thank them, and they were loving. It takes a long time to realize that they made me feel safe when I lived a life which was very not safe.

I don't believe in depression. There's no such thing. It's an invention. It's bullshit, it's a cop out.

Image
I'd love to sell out completely. It's just that nobody has been willing to buy.

I don't trust anyone that hasn't been to jail at least once in their life.

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.

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.

I'm an old person because I still buy DVDs. I have every one of my albums and 45s - I even have a couple of 33s and I do have a turntable. But I must admit, I don't listen to vinyl today. But I listen to all types of music.

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.

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

Many hundred-million-dollar Hollywood comedies aren't any good. They're trying to shock you.
