Hairspray is the only movie I made that's subversive, because they're doing it in every high school in America. A man's playing a woman, and two men sing a love song to each other.

More quotes by John Waters
I learned that people like my work because I praise things that others don't like.
John Waters
People still come to Baltimore and say, I didn't realize you made documentaries.
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
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
I don't believe in depression. There's no such thing. It's an invention. It's bullshit, it's a cop out.
John Waters
I probably would have made [films] anywhere. Every city has something they're ashamed of. I would have made films about it and turned it into something positive.
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 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
Everybody should wish they had home movies of themselves, acting out their lunacy on LSD.
John Waters
I built my [early] career on negative reviews. There was a cultural war going on, the '60s was going on. All the film critics were square. They hated my movies. You could never have that happen today. Critics are way too hip.
John Waters
I care about the presidential elections. I always vote. Sometimes I've voted more than once, illegally. But you can't anymore. The picture ID has ruined everything.
John Waters
People vomitied at my movies not because of the movie but because they were drunk. I took credit anyway.
John Waters
God knows if you could start a new sex act that's more important than making a good movie.
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
I'd love to sell out completely. It's just that nobody has been willing to buy.
John Waters
If you purposefully look to shock people, it isn't funny. That's what 50 million dollar Hollywood comedies do try to be shocking and dirty.
John Waters
As far as socially redeeming value, I hope I don't have any.
John Waters
Don’t sleep with people who don’t read.
John Waters
I always say you need something weird on your face and some good shoes and nobody looks in the middle.
John Waters
So many great people are dead, and so many assholes I know are still alive. Karma's bullshit. I wish it was true, but it ain't.
John Waters
