John Waters

I believe in the power of repulsion.

I enjoy making people squirm.

I'm a connoisseur of the absurd.

I'm not interested in good taste. I'm interested in strong taste.

My whole career has been about making fun of things that are supposed to be sacred.

I like to live in a world where anything is possible, even the impossible.

I'm a rebel with a cause: bad taste.

I think humor is the ultimate weapon against everything.

I've always been drawn to the dark side of life.

I'm a filth elder.

I like to make people rethink what they consider normal.

My career is a tribute to bad taste.

I'm a champion of the underdog and the oversexed.

I like to play with fire, figuratively and sometimes literally.

I'm a happy pervert.

I'm a professional provocateur.

I'm a big fan of people who live outside the lines.

I like to make films that are like a punch to the gut.

I'm a dirty mind with a clean heart.

I'm a champion of bad taste and good humor.
