RuPaul drives John Waters: Outsiders on the inside

In the latest episode of the web series, RuPaul Drives, the drag superstar and legendary filmmaker John Waters share their unique perspectives on being outsiders in society.

Waters recently finished a book called Carsick, which documents his travels while hitchhiking from Baltimore to San Francisco in search of "perverts."

Here are some of the highlights:

Waters on his core audience: "Minorities that don't even fit into their own minority. They can't even get along with their fellow lunatics. That's my core audience. People in prison with a sense of humor."

RuPaul on finding refuge in being "weird": "When you understand life's twisted hoax, you then go, 'Oh, okay. Now we can have some fun."

Waters on being an outsider: "Everybody now wants to be an outsider. When we were young, nobody wanted to be. But now you and I should be insiders. That's more perverted. That's the ultimate revenge."

Waters on rejection: "A 'no' is free. Ask for what you want. if you get turned down, so what? It doesn't cost to ask for what you want."
