John Waters Interview

John WatersInterview by Becky Fritter

For decades, filmmaker John Waters has lovingly made films that make us cringe, raise an eyebrow or two and kind of throw up a little in our mouths. From sketchy bestiality scenes to characters who love to kill, he has notoriously sculpted a world where disgust is something to smile about and the underdog always wins. When it’s up to John, the chubby girl snatches the studly male dancer from the snobbish blonde bitch (Hairspray), a schoolgirl will show the world what happens when you don’t get cha-cha heels (Female Trouble), and there’s nothing wrong with selling heroin in schools and selling babies to gay couples (Pink Flamingos).
