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.

More quotes by John Waters
I never thought I'd be 52 years old. I don't think that anybody at 16 thinks like that.
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
Well cult is a word you would never say in Hollywood. In any film business, if you're trying to get your next film made, you would never say, Oh, my last film was a cult film. I'd say, Oh great, well I hope this one isn't!
John Waters
With Hairspray, we had a great experience. I always think of the last time I saw Divine: He was in the last booth in the back of the Odeon. Now every time I go in there, I look at that table. It was a wonderful night.Hairspray had been out a week it was a hit. If I had to pick a night that was going to be the last night.
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
I have no interest in cars. I have a plain, used Buick. I could run over 10 people, and you wouldn't be able to describe my car.
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
I always say you need something weird on your face and some good shoes and nobody looks in the middle.
John Waters
I learned that people like my work because I praise things that others don't like.
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 have spoken, and I was understood. It's not like I'm a tragic person who wasn't understood. All those books are in print, all those movies are still out there, the audience gets younger. So I don't have that I've got to do one thing before I die. I did it.
John Waters
I understand why people want to look up their friends - usually they want to see what people they've wanted to have sex with look like.
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
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
Many hundred-million-dollar Hollywood comedies aren't any good. They're trying to shock you.
John Waters
Coke didn't last long enough it gave me a hangover for two weeks for being high for ten minutes.
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
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 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've signed peoples' parole cards at book signings and it's very touching.
John Waters
