Picture Quotes I always give books. And I always ask for books. I think you should reward people sexually for getting you books. Don't send a thank-you note, repay them with sexual activity. If the book is rare or by your favorite author or one you didn't know about, reward them with the most perverted sex act you can think of. Otherwise, you can just make out. —John WatersWhatsappFacebookTwitterPinterestLinkedInBufferEmail this
Picture Quotes It`s great to be able to drive around and spy on people, which I do when I'm writing.

Picture Quotes I hate it when people say, I'm an artist. I think, well, I'll be the judge of that. And I don't think artist is a job description.

I guess in the art world I'm not exactly a photographer, but I do use photography. —John WatersWhatsappFacebookTwitterPinterestLinkedInBufferEmail this

Picture Quotes It's time now to rent a car, roll down the windows and prepare for your first big thrill: the freeways. They're so much fun they should charge admission. Never fret about zigzagging back and forth through six lanes of traffic at high speeds; it erases jet lag in a split second. You're now heading toward Hollywood, like any normal tourist.

Forget the propaganda you've heard about clean air; demand oxygen you can see in all its glorious discoloration. —John WatersWhatsappFacebookTwitterPinterestLinkedInBufferEmail this

So I try to be humble. —John WatersWhatsappFacebookTwitterPinterestLinkedInBufferEmail this
Picture Quotes Even illegal weapons have lost their panache. Zip guns and shanks were at least homemade. Where is the craft in a grade-schooler firing a magnum? What is the world coming to?

Picture Quotes The good guys in my movies mind their own business and they don't judge other people.

And I never put it on pause, or use any of that fancy equipment. —John WatersWhatsappFacebookTwitterPinterestLinkedInBufferEmail this
