I like art. It's another way to rebel.

I always had a work ethic. And I think I very much got that from my father and my mother.

I didn't follow anybody's advice, really.

I had a stage when I was 12 years old. I had a puppet show career. I wrote horror stories in camp, and all the parents called and complained.
John Waters -
'Hairspray' maybe did change people's minds, and that's how you get your political enemies to change their minds - by making them laugh and making them look at something in a way they haven't seen it. Not by preaching and cutting them off and being a separatist.
John Waters -
New York was scarier than Baltimore ever was. It was terrible in the '70s. I'm glad they cleaned it up. I got mugged; I had to go to the hospital. Every time you went out, you got robbed. It was horrible. You can't imagine.

I wanted to own a junk yard as a child, you know. I used to smash cars and think, 'Oh, my God, there's been an accident.' My mother would take me to junk yards, and I look back on that and I think, 'Wow, that was really loving.'

I think it would be fun to die onstage! Just drop dead in the middle of my show? That wouldn't be so bad.

Without obsession, life is nothing.

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 -
My mother was Catholic, my father not. I went to Catholic high school. Every form of education failed me. I was trouble.
John Waters -
I'd be a bad father. I'm too self-involved.
John Waters -
Being a traditionalist, I'm a rabid sucker for Christmas. In July, I'm already worried that there are only 146 shopping days left.
