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.

More quotes by John Waters
I think the best article was the article about radical feminists being against transgender women. I found that the most fascinating article and I absolutely loved it. I love battles within the gay community or feminist community. I love radical theorists.
John Waters
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.
John Waters
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
I don't believe in depression. There's no such thing. It's an invention. It's bullshit, it's a cop out.
John Waters
I love radical theorists. But at the same time, I don't agree with them a lot, but I love their theories. I love how they intellectualize rage, and this inner battle that such a tiny percent of people really care about. I find that the most interesting.
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
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.
John Waters
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.
John Waters
Hitchhiking, intrinsically, is sexual and dangerous. At the same time I never really felt scared. I was scared that nobody would pick me up and that I'd be waiting by the side of the road for a week.
John Waters
As far as socially redeeming value, I hope I don't have any.
John Waters
When I started my goal was to make a successful underground movie. I started making movies in the mid-60s. Underground cinema then only lasted about two or three years.
John Waters
Everybody should wish they had home movies of themselves, acting out their lunacy on LSD.
John Waters
I don't like heroin, unless you're a jazz musician and then you have to be on it because jazz is the sound of heroin.
John Waters
How could you think of such awful things? liberal critics always ask. How else could I possibly amuse myself? I always wonder.
John Waters
People who want to act rich when they're upper-middle class. They try too hard.
John Waters
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
People vomitied at my movies not because of the movie but because they were drunk. I took credit anyway.
John Waters
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
I mean, what is prison, really, except a good bar without the liquor?
John Waters
I've signed peoples' parole cards at book signings and it's very touching.
