John Waters: MAKE TROUBLE

 “Go out in the world and fuck it up beautifully.”

― John Waters, Make Trouble

“Remember: you must participate in the creative world you want to become part of.”
― John Waters, Make Trouble

“Hairspray is the only really devious movie I ever made. The musical based on it is now being performed in practically every high school in America—and nobody seems to notice it’s a show with two men singing a love song to each other that also encourages white teen girls to date black guys. Pink Flamingos was preaching to the converted. But Hairspray is a Trojan horse: it snuck into Middle America and never got caught. You can do the same thing.”
― John Waters, Make Trouble

“Nobody likes a bore on a soapbox. Humor is always the best defense and weapon. If you can make an idiot laugh, they’ll at least pause and listen before they do something stupid . . . to you.”
― John Waters, Make Trouble

“Listen to your political enemies, especially the smart ones, and then figure out a way to make them laugh.”
― John Waters, Make Trouble

“You need to prepare sneak attacks on society,”
― John Waters, Make Trouble
