John Waters Commencement - RISD 2015 

This man inspires me in a way no other person has.

I love how Waters manages to balance genuine decency with his dark personal compulsions.

John Waters is a national treasure. And unlike many national treasures he's as vital and thorny as ever. Thank you for posting! ❤️❤️❤️

"make *me* nervous"

Just...Awesome!!!

This man is legend...

he would probably be mortified if he found out he gave one of the wisest speeches ever to a graduating class..

Spot On!

Go out in the world and fuck it up beautifully.

4:15 "Today my be the end of your juvenile delinquency, but it should also be the first day of your new adult disobedience." Real advice for the days we live in...

Love John Waters. Last bastion of sanity in this crazy world. He followed his bliss and never,ever had to go to a bullshit job.

Love this! John Waters is so unspeakably brilliant. :o)

An artist who never sold out, never turned to bullshit.

I was there, and it was awesome!!!!

RISD landed the Best speaker of the whole season ! Brilliant choice of my Alma mater !!!

I watched 36 commencement speeches this week. This is by far the most memorable. It's a "reach for the stars" speech, but somehow manages to be the most creative of all. "Get out there and fuck things up, beautifully." -jw

Yo they're laughing, but he's dead ass serious. Lmao I love it 😂😂😂

a dear, dear man, and a kind one.

Thank you, John. This motivational talk was just what I needed today.

I want my kids to hear this

Loved this! Liberating, generous, funny and wise.

7:35 - 7:50 the key of life

I feel ripped off, my commencement speaker was Les Moonves.

This speech gives me LIFE

gay is not enough anymore!

National Living Treasure! Love John Waters

LOVE THAT MAN! Soooo smart and funny Who else is gonna stand up for "the adult baby community?!" Oh God I'm weeping

I am so jealous. Ball State University needs him.

LOVE John Waters. And, that dirty laugh in the audience made it all the better! :-)

Fantastic - An Elder Filth! count me in!! Thanks John W!

There's a random pterodactyl sound from some dude at 8:00 I'm dying

I just found the book with this speech and I am going to treasure it and pass it on to the next generation of beautiful weirdos like me and JW ('Make Trouble').

Zzzzzzzzzap! John Waters is the man

I looooove it! why is that taht i am not surprised to find it in your chanel??? ;))

"Go out into the world and fuck it up beautifully." Words to live by.

This is how every graduation should be..!

Amazing! I would flip if John Waters read his commencement speech at my graduation

I just got an advance copy of John Waters new book - Making Trouble - making this the best graduation gift book - the book is this speech illustrated.

Here from tiktok ✊

Beautifully done.

Something about him reminds me of Vincent Price and i mean it as a compliment.

he is a perfect human being and I'm so grateful to be able to learn his filth elder ways ❤️

In-fucking-credible.

This an amazing speech. Very Inspiring

He's my favourite living human

I just want my fucking eggs!

WHAT A FANTASTIC COMMENCEMENT ADDRESS!!!!!

I want an app that can give you just a few words of his every day randomly.

BRILLIANT!

go out in the world and fuck it up beautifully. Words to live by

We should make John Waters and Dolly Parton our King and Queen.

Hmmm - 25 neuters. Thank goodness they won't breed. :)

LOVE IT

Brilliant. A true elder. I just hate that hooting loud mouth in the audience. Shut tfu

Love it! Make trouble!

Thank you for uploading this 🥰

how can I wreck what came before me when it feels like literally everything has already been covered before in cinema. What ground is there left to touch upon? any style I curate people will still say it's a lot like "this guy" or "that gal." John waters, with his 70's cult films, made something completely new and breathtakingly out-of-this world. Nowadays I don't believe there is anything I can do that hasn't been done before, somewhere or somehow. Cinema has been around for over 100 years. Nothing is new. There's nothing to fuck up beautifully when John Waters and hundreds of others have already came before me and fucked it up. It's done. The legacy is over. It's through.

Zeitgeist Movement & The Venus Project!!!

Courant de sensualité!!!~~~

@6'15'' it sounds like one of the Minions has just graduated

My hometown hero!

haha "filth elder"

He is plugging himself throughout the speech. He really is a vulgarian.
