• Strive for art in reverse.
• 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.

  • 1977, when asked about Anita Bryant
• As far as socially redeeming value, I hope I don't have any.

• My favorite movie idea is to do a movie where everything's fake — the trees, the grass, even the sun.
• 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.

  • When asked if Bush's opposition to gay marriage would sway his vote.

• Nobody ever really felched anybody.
• Everyone in the audience was on drugs, everyone in the movies themselves were on drugs, and I was on drugs when I thought them up.
• Pink Flamingos was made as a crime, almost. Nobody gave me a headshot for that movie. The guy with the singing asshole just came up and showed me.
