[My catholic education] sticked with me. It caused the rage I had to make 'Pink Flamingos.'

I like the word 'underground'... 'independent' carries a stigma of whininess. 'Underground' means a good time.

There is right and there is wrong, I have NEVER been wrong.

I have spoken, and I was understood. It's not like I'm a tragic person who wasn't understood. All those books are in print, all those movies are still out there, the audience gets younger. So I don't have that "I've got to do one thing before I die." I did it.

Everyone wants to be called an outsider so I'm a proud insider. If I was young I'd be in my parents' house shutting down the government on my computer. The new delinquent is the hacker.

How come there's no terrorism with humor, which is a great way to humiliate your enemy? It's a great time for that.

I haven't changed - the public has. I'm an insider now, which is hilarious.
