John Waters on Make Trouble Humour

Much of what filmmaker/writer John Waters says makes me laugh. The same would be true of Woody Allen.. (Much of what they say rings true.)

In 2015 Mr Waters delivered a commencement speech to graduates at the Rhode Island School of Design, and his patented, at times subversive, sense of humour made his life advice go viral.

I, of course, was not surprised.

"Okay, I'm supposed to inspire you. How's this? Somehow I've been able to make a living doing what I love best for fifty years without even having to get a real job."

"A career in the arts is like a hitchhiking trip: All you need is one person to say 'get in', and off you go. And then the confidence begins.
