Quote

I liked speed. I was on black beauties all the time. Nothing bad happened to me. I didn't become a drug addict because I always had to make a movie. We weren't stoned when we made them I was stoned when I made movies up. I did them all.

How could you think of such awful things? liberal critics always ask. How else could I possibly amuse myself? I always wonder.
John Waters
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Maybe there is no better novel in the world than Denton Welch's In Youth Is Pleasure. Just holding it in my hands, so precious, so beyond gay, so deliciously subversive, is enough to make illiteracy a worse social crime than hunger.
John Waters
Image
People vomitied at my movies not because of the movie but because they were drunk. I took credit anyway.
John Waters
Image
I always wanted to be a juvenile delinquent but my parents wouldn't let me.

I tried heroin. I shot up in high school, but I just thought it was so dreary: puking and nodding.
John Waters
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Sometimes I wish I was a woman, just so I could have an abortion.
John Waters
Image
Anyone from my past I'm interested in, I've already stalked their homes. I like to go outside.
John Waters
Image
Things are going great in every part of my life except movies. That's okay. I've got a lot of other parts of my life. I've made 15 movies. You can see any one of my movies and it says the same thing.
John Waters
Image
Without obsession, life is nothing.
John Waters
Image
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.

Image
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.

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
Image
I think the extremes are something that's really interesting to see coalesce in movies.
John Waters
Image
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.

Wealth is walking into any bookshop and buying any book you want without looking at the price tag.

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