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.

More quotes by John Waters
I'd rather have a daughter in a whorehouse than a son in the police force,' Esther used to rage to anyone who would listen.
John Waters
I've signed peoples' parole cards at book signings and it's very touching.
John Waters
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
Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday because I don't have to do anything except bring wine and go to my sister's all day and go to the movies with the family. So, actually, Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday, but there's not much comedy material on Thanksgiving. Melatonin really isn't that funny.
John Waters
I was as equally influenced by Bergman as I was [low-budget sexploitation filmmaker].
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
How could you think of such awful things? liberal critics always ask. How else could I possibly amuse myself? I always wonder.
John Waters
I wish something on T.V. would trouble me. Then maybe I would watch it.
John Waters
Baltimore never changes much. People aren't impressed by anything. It's great it's not a trendy town.
John Waters
You go to school to figure out who you want to be and how you can do it, and [maybe] I should have, because the films would probably be technically better.
John Waters
I mean, what is prison, really, except a good bar without the liquor?
John Waters
I've had it with being nice, understanding, fair and hopeful. I feel like being negative all day. The chip on my shoulder could sink the QE2. I've got an attitude problem and nobody better get in my way...I'm in a bad mood and the whole stupid little world is gonna pay!
John Waters
Everything makes you who you are, so I was lucky that I had a good family that was horrified by what I wanted to do but was also supportive of it, right to the very end.
John Waters
There was a cultural war going on, the '60s was going on. All the film critics were square.
John Waters
To me, racist jokes are not funny. I am politically correct, in a weird way. I like to push the boundaries that are politically correct.
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
I hitchhiked at high school. My parents thought was a perfectly normal thing to do even though God knows I got blown a lot of times riding home from school.
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 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 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
