More quotes by 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
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
As far as socially redeeming value, I hope I don't have any.
John Waters

John Waters
I think [parents] became very proud, even though they were mortified by the early films because no one liked them.
John Waters
People still come to Baltimore and say, I didn't realize you made documentaries.
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
I'm thrilled to have a completely new audience that I can get from Court TV, without it being my own trial. That was the only other way I would have gotten it.
John Waters
Going to a sensational murder trial is the only way I can relax.
John Waters
Aren't maids the ultimate art critics?
John Waters
An underground hit didn't make any money and it cost a dollar to get in.
John Waters
Fifty years seems like a good anniversary. Even after I'm dead, how much better could I get than this? I mean, it's great, I'm not dead, so I get to see it.
John Waters
