I never got along in school really - I already knew what I wanted to do. I have never in my life got a paycheck from anywhere in the world that asked if I went to school.

More quotes by John Waters
I don't trust anyone that hasn't been to jail at least once in their life.
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
Don’t sleep with people who don’t read.
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
It isn't enough to shock. It's easy to shock. Real surprise is what I'm after.
John Waters
As far as socially redeeming value, I hope I don't have any.
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
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.
John Waters
Coke didn't last long enough it gave me a hangover for two weeks for being high for ten minutes.
John Waters
True success is figuring out your life and career so you never have to be around jerks.
John Waters
An underground hit didn't make any money and it cost a dollar to get in.
John Waters
My films can be considered political action against the tyranny of good taste.
John Waters
You see a kid making a film on a cell phone. He doesn't know what he's doing either. But it comes out kind of good.
John Waters
I'd love to sell out completely. It's just that nobody has been willing to buy.
John Waters
Catholics have more extreme sex lives because they're taught that pleasure is bad for you. Who thinks it's normal to kneel down to a naked man who's nailed to a cross? It's like a bad leather bar.
John Waters
And I seek people who break rules with happiness — and not bringing pain to themselves.
John Waters
I've signed peoples' parole cards at book signings and it's very touching.
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 think [parents] became very proud, even though they were mortified by the early films because no one liked them.
John Waters
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.
John Waters
