The only time I had a normal boyfriend was during the time of AIDS, so maybe that saved me. It's certainly not karma.

More quotes by John Waters
Valentine's Day is my mother's birthday. If I'm wildly in love, I've sent people chicken hearts, which seems to appeal to the kind of person that I've been in love with.
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
I am on the road all the time. Whether I'm in Paris or in a small college town in Texas, I can't tell the difference, and that's good. You don't have to leave where you were born to be cool anymore.
John Waters
You have to remember that it is impossible to commit a crime while reading a book.
John Waters
There are little things that get on my nerves, like people who have reading material in their powder room. When you go in someone’s house, and next to the toilet they have a huge basket of magazines, I find that repellent. I recommend against straining while reading.
John Waters
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.
John Waters
Maybe I'll just write books. I'd like to make another movie, but I don't want to go back and [do] what they want you to do, to make it for a million dollars. I did that. I don't need a lot, but I need what I used to get, and they don't give you that anymore.
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
Humor is how you change people's opinions, and if you can make someone laugh, they'll listen, even if they hate you.
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
I would describe myself as a writer that hopes to take you into my world and help you feel a little safer.
John Waters
Baltimore never changes much. People aren't impressed by anything. It's great it's not a trendy town.
John Waters
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.
John Waters
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.
John Waters
I make independent movies. I don't know how to do anything else. I don't know any other job that I could really get.
John Waters
I mean, what is prison, really, except a good bar without the liquor?
John Waters
Anytime you make someone laugh or satirize something, it's the best way to change someone's opinion because they're defenseless - they laugh, they listen.
John Waters
Everybody should wish they had home movies of themselves, acting out their lunacy on LSD.
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
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
