Oh, night Divine: 12 Christmas questions with John Waters
“Q: Did you believe in Santa growing up?
A: Kind of, but I was always confused. I thought, ‘Is that part of the Holy Trinity of the Devil, Santa Claus and Jesus?’ I was the confused by the myth.
Q: My boss wants to know what’s under your tree this year.
A: We don’t have a tree — we decorate the electric chair from ‘Female Trouble.’ We do it every year, and once it’s decorated, it doesn’t even look like an electric chair. It transforms into my version of tradition.”
