RuPaul Drives... John Waters

[@caramelking0693]

"Just because it's gay doesn't mean I have to like it" YES

[@friendlier]

"I watch the most obscure depressing French art films. I feel good anyway. I don't expect a movie to make me feel good." And that is a true film fan.

[@Vampgeek]

Same concept for music as well. I relate to that so hard.

[@Jessa-RM]

And it relates to art as well

[@morgane4582]

I don't relate at all, I'm the opposite hahaha

[@pittorpalmerston2592]

I think what's so great about this episode is that Rupaul and John Waters speak to each other as equals, unlike the other ones where the interviewee is in awe of Rupaul. It's a real conversation.

[@tonlo92]

I could listen to John talk all day.

[@Falke30CGN]

Me too, what a humble human being. Beautiful

[@FabiolaRVela]

Me too! 😂❤

[@garyclement5121]

John Waters is the most charming man in America.

[@lovewillkillusall]

Gary Clement He's like the Mr. Rogers in some upside down, twisted and just COOLER world, lol! He wants everyone to be their sick, ugly, hot, annoying, stupid, genius and psychotic selves! And to LOVE IT 'cuz he's fully accepting and in awe of ALL OF IT! ;D

He really is, I could listen to him talk all day long 😂

[@cowboybear40]

Love John Waters' comment at 7:35 "I may be queer, but I'm mentally ill"

[@augusts1]

'I didn't get a good review for 10 years. And I made a career out of bad reviews.' Love it & I think this perfectly sums Waters up. Love these interviews!

[@asantesamuel13]

I completely mirrored Ru's laugh at the end when John said "Ike beats Tina to death." That. Was. Magical.

I LOVE John Waters, met him at his book signing and almost died! What a sweet and wild man he really is, bless his soul. I love his humor,attitude,movies and crazy world

[@gina_st.george]

I used to manage a local music store here in Baltimore, and John Waters was a regular customer of ours. Such a down to earth, charming man. He absolutely detests when people make a fuss over him...but the more "unique" you were, the more likely you were to serve him.

[@precocious38152]

John's humor and RuPaul's laugh are so contagious 💙

[@martinespinomusic]

I love RuPaul he’s really sincere and slightly goofy laugh makes him sound like that. Yes, I love them.

[@ShakinJamacian]

Gawd, is Ru always this curious about others? I can't handle it at all. He always seems so invested in the wellbeing of others, it's pretty crazy. What a sincere, lovely person.

[@DavidDeyo1962]

I agree. Put him on my list of fantasy invitees to an ultimate dinner party.

[@derekaitken]

That's why he's so beloved!

"People who have uncovered life's twisted hoax find refuge in the irreverent, twisted, and weird." Can I get an Amen? That's my shit.

[@Pinkranger87]

Amen

[@ollietaro]

What is life's twisted hoax? I'm still trying to uncover it

[@greg_216]

Uncovering that also helped me to understand that shitting on the (harmless) interests of other people just made me a propagator of the hoax. You do you.

[@greg_216]

@@ollietaro From the time you're born they stick a label on you and expect you to conform to it and it's just a lot of bullshit. Nationality, religion, skin color, gender, sexual orientation. The hoax is it doesn't matter because we all end up dead in the ground in the end. So, you can go around worrying about a lot of useless labels, or you can live your life and read and think and have ideas and be yourself -- and, most importantly, have some fucking fun.

[@bethwolz1]

I want a 365-day desk calendar with John Waters quotes --- such incisive vision. Makes so much sense and so positive. Inspirational! Thank you, RuPaul, great interview!

John Waters is such a sweetheart, he reminds me of my dear departed dad so much.

[@carlfrano6384]

Is there more content of these two together ANYWHERE? They were on fire!

[@rickschweitzer9845]

This was a great interview. It's rather historic in a way. Two icons in the same car talking about nothing. I adore them both

[@marshamc]

John's book 'Role Models' is fabulous too. I have it on audiobook and If you enjoy authors reading their own work (and I do) listening to him read it on your ipod (or equivalent) is just divine. I can't wait until 'Carsick' comes out! P.S. Ru, I love your 'RuPaul Drives ...' series; what a great idea and the possibilities are endless.

[@vplane]

Love him so much...his humor got me through some pretty dark times in my life. I hope he really does show up on Drag Race someday!

These are such candid interviews, LOVE IT!!

[@samus-zr9mq]

I love John Waters! "Minorities that don't fit in with their minorities," I can identify with that when it comes to the gay community. I don't get along with my fellow lunatics LOL I don't want to be forced into being a certain way; I hold on tight to my identity. Nice to know that there's someone out there who understands!!! :)

[@Jacksonrox13]

Same here when it comes to Queer Music. I can't stand the mainstream stuff like Madonna and Elton John. Give me weird, creepy shit like Coil, Throbbing Gristle, Antoni Johnson, Death In June, etc.

I did not appreciate how talented Divine was until he died and I saw the gaping hole in John Water's films.

That part of Pink Flamingos affected us all deeply.

[@labotamysausagedog]

Mr. Waters would appreciate it if you didn't talk about his gaping hole.

[@michaelterry1000]

MAJOR3058 The reason why I said that is that it seems that Waters films just seem to get better and better starting with Pink Flamingos all the way up to Hairspray but then all of a sudden his films weren't anywhere near as good. The obvious change was the death of Divine. Yes, it could be said that neither Divine or Waters could have done it without the other. I guess in the end I agree with you.
