John Waters's quotes

  • "My hobby is extreme Catholic behavior -- BEFORE the Reformation." (2000)
  • "If you can make someone laugh who's dead set against you, that's the first step to winning them over to your side." (2000)
  • Some call me director, producer, filmmaker. I prefer to call myself pube-king.
  • Strive for art in reverse.
  • To me, bad taste is what entertainment is all about. If someone vomits watching one of my films, it's like getting a standing ovation. But one must remember that there is such a thing as good bad taste and bad bad taste.
  • I pride myself on the fact that my work has no socially redeeming value.
  • I would love to make a movie for very neurotic children. But then perhaps, I've already done that. I've shown my films at children's birthday parties. They just love them, like Punch and Judy shows.
  • Oh, Squeaky Fromme, where were you when we needed you? [1977: when asked about Anita Bryant]
  • As far as socially redeeming value, I hope I don't have any. [1983]
  • I love Judy Garland, but if a reporter were coming to my home, I wouldn't have her music playing. A gay man loving Judy would be like a black person watching a minstrel show.
  • Who on earth would want to assassinate Danny Thomas? It wouldn't even make the front page!
  • I'll never be able to do a sequel to Pink Flamingos (1972) because it would have to end with Divine taking a shit and the dog eating it.
  • If someone threw up at one of my screenings, it would be like a standing ovation.
  • My favorite movie idea is to do a movie where everything's fake -- the trees, the grass, even the sun.
  • I would never do hard-core pornography, because it looks too much like open-heart surgery.
  • As a child, I always wanted to sit in William Castle's lap, not Santa's!
  • I'm 100% gay and about 20% in gay society. Sometimes I'm more comfortable in punk rock clubs than gay clubs. There are just as many rules I rebel from in the gay world as the straight one. I'm gaily incorrect, but I do vote gay.
  • Sometimes I wish I was a woman, just so that I could get an abortion.
  • A movie star is someone you want to either get drunk with or have sex with.
  • No matter what your sexual preference or gender, no one likes a man who is fussy about his looks. You can spend as much time as you want looking good. But don't do it in public.
  • No film can come near The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974)'s snuff-like power to horrify. Just saying that great title out loud should give even real serial killers the creeps.
  • [when asked by a reporter why crossdresser Divine ate a piece of dog dirt in his film Pink Flamingos] It was just a little piece of dogshit, and it made her a star.
  • I can't go to trials anymore because people recognize me.
  • I think everyone wishes they had a mom that would kill for them
  • The more money Hollywood pays you, the more they're going to have a say.
  • I'd like to kill people for how they dress on airplanes
  • [on Serial Mom (1994)] It lasted. It plays on television a lot, especially on Mother's Day.
  • I want to meet Eminem, because he has no desire to meet me.
  • [Interviewed by Lennyletter]: Well, I'm a feminist. I love women who hate men and hate men who hate women.
  • To me, camp was a secret word that gay people used and Susan Sontag exposed it in a great, great way. But then it was done. Once the secret was out, it was over.
  • I'm not on Facebook, because I'm not interested in what you had for lunch. But also I work from six in the morning to 10 at night, so I don't have time to look.
  • I've always made fun of gay culture. They have more rules than my parents do now.
  • It isn't my business who celebrities sleep with, who David Letterman slept with or his marriage, unless he uses a moral stance to put down other people. Then it is very much my business.
  • I'm for abortion. If you can't love your kid, don't have it because it'll grow up and kill us.
  • I was born six weeks early. Right from the beginning, I was trouble.
  • You have to learn the rules of good taste to have fun with bad taste.
  • What I don't get is Twitter. Why would you give away your jokes every day? Who's going to buy them? I have the spoken word show, books I've got to do, I've got to save my material.
