Multiple Maniacs

“One of my favorite movies ever, Female Trouble. But I’m going to go with Multiple Maniacs. I think it’s because John Waters, probably my favorite director ever, someone who really did bring, like, the abject into I would say, not a conceivable way, but in a way that was beautiful and elevated and filmic. Divine in this is amazing. David Lochary is hot. What Divine and Mink Stole do in the church, kind of the most shocking thing I’ve ever seen.”

“These two together: Multiple Maniacs and Polyester. I'm the person that has too many drinks and I sit down and say to someone, 'We need to talk about how John Waters is like one of the more important filmmakers of all time.' I have my diatribe about why I think he's just incredible.”

“You know, I never saw Multiple Maniacs. I think I need to get that one because John Waters is a friend and I feel terrible I haven’t seen this. He feels terrible that people have to watch it. He always jokes about grandma saying, 'I love your work.' And he’s like, 'Did you see Multiple Maniacs?'”
