| "I'm
happier in my life at 52 years old. At 25, when I made
Pink Flamingos, I was more insane, angrier maybe, but
still happy. It's 1990 now, not the '60s, when there was
a cultural war going on. Now I'm rooting for the
president to get blow jobs! It's very different. [My new
film] Pecker has some of the edge of my earlier movies
but a sweeter spirit. The sense of humor is the same.
Pecker is a feel-good movie for lunatics." - Gay filmmaker John Waters to Salon magazine, Sept. 24. "I
was in my house down in Orange County. I was all by
myself and I was nervous because I don't like to be
alone. It's kind of scary. Somebody knocked on my door
and it was a fan. He started shrieking, 'Bathhouse Betty!
Bathhouse Betty!' and I thought, 'Oh my God! How
mortifying.' It was pretty scary, but I said, 'I'm going
to call the cops!' and he ran away. But he left me with
Bathhouse Betty, and how could I forget that? He was
giving me an homage to my days playing the [gay]
bathhouses." |

| "She's fine
[work-wise]. She will not have to go sell clothes at the
Gap." - Betty DeGeneres on her daughter Ellen to the San Francisco Chronicle, Sept. 28. "I went ballistic. ... Down,
dirty, holding my breath till I turned blue, screaming
and yelling, firing everybody - relatives, people who
worked for me - I just went around the house screaming
and yelling. There's a difference between always feeling
[your child is gay] and then having it be, this is the
deal - having the internal feelings but then having it
be, yes, this is the way it is. Also ... everybody in the
universe seemed to know [already] except me. So it was a
combination of it being the real thing, everyone knowing
but me, and then feeling really bad because Chaz couldn't
come to me and say it." Courtesy of Wockner News at http://www.wockner.com |
