I loved Cookie [Mueller]. She was a much better writer than actress. She shouldn't have stuck with me in the beginning she should have immediately become a writer. She would have had more of a chance.

More quotes by John Waters
Without obsession, life is nothing.
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
I don't trust anyone that hasn't been to jail at least once in their life.
John Waters
People vomitied at my movies not because of the movie but because they were drunk. I took credit anyway.
John Waters
I mean, what is prison, really, except a good bar without the liquor?
John Waters
Sometimes I wish I was a woman, just so I could have an abortion.
John Waters
I think that young people understand me perfectly. I think that's the luckiest thing about my career, that I get older and they get younger, and it didn't stop with my generation.
John Waters
It`s great to be able to drive around and spy on people, which I do when I'm writing. People tell me the most personal things about their lives for no reason - on airplanes, everywhere I go. People just blurt out secrets. I'm not sure why. I think that they see in my films that nothing will make me uptight. I'm not going to judge them.
John Waters
I'd love to sell out completely. It's just that nobody has been willing to buy.
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.
John Waters
I keep on having ideas and developments. Some happen and some don't, but I still always have a way of telling a story.
John Waters
My films can be considered political action against the tyranny of good taste.
John Waters
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
Anyone from my past I'm interested in, I've already stalked their homes. I like to go outside.
John Waters
I like rap music. But bragging about being rich to poor people is really offensive. I want to hear a rap song about buying a Cy Twombly painting or dating a museum curator. I want to hear about that kind of rich.
John Waters
Stop blaming your parents. If you're really angry at 60 years old, you're an idiot! You've got to work some of it out.
John Waters
I do like Christmas. I do understand that there are people who hate it, and there are other religions that resent it. So, I speak to everybody - I try to speak to every kind of minority and majority that cannot escape the steamroller known as Christmas.
John Waters
Going to a sensational murder trial is the only way I can relax.
John Waters
I always want to see films that are startling and amazing. Not just shocking. Shocking is easy to do. But startling in the way that makes you change how you think about things. Those are the movies I like the best.
John Waters
I never had any desire to get a tattoo. If I was ever going to get one, I would get a plain anchor with a rope around it, the most unimaginative possible tattoo, like Popeye had.
John Waters
