More quotes by John Waters
I'd love to sell out completely. It's just that nobody has been willing to buy.
John Waters
People still come to Baltimore and say, I didn't realize you made documentaries.
John Waters
Without obsession, life is nothing.
John Waters
I've signed dicks, asses, parole cards, a colostomy bag while it was still pumping. A couple of years ago, I signed a bloody Tampax. That's one you don't forget. I'm not asking for someone to top that!
John Waters
Everybody should wish they had home movies of themselves, acting out their lunacy on LSD.
John Waters
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.
John Waters
It took me a while to figure it out, but to have a real hit on Broadway, you have to get the respected Broadway people to like it. But then the production also has to appeal to the most middle-class people who know nothing about Broadway and who come to see it later.
John Waters
Ever feel like killing somebody just to see if you could get away with it? Sure, you have. Everybody has little things that get on their nerves.
John Waters
I used to joke that I was trying to sell out, and nobody would buy me.
John Waters
Going to a sensational murder trial is the only way I can relax.
John Waters
I always say you need something weird on your face and some good shoes and nobody looks in the middle.
John Waters
I would describe myself as a writer that hopes to take you into my world and help you feel a little safer.
John Waters
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
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 make a great part of my living by traveling and speaking. To me, it's like being a politician, you meet your audience, you constantly see the people and they're getting younger for me which is really, really encouraging. I get older and my audience gets younger. It couldn't be better.
John Waters
Fifty years seems like a good anniversary. Even after I'm dead, how much better could I get than this? I mean, it's great, I'm not dead, so I get to see it.
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
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
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
If you're a parent, I tell you how to get through Christmas. I think that if you've ever had a bad feeling about Christmas coming, I'll tell you how to deal with it. So, I think in a way it's like going to a sane psychiatrist that actually gives you some good advice, I hope!
John Waters
