What are you looking for in a mate? I’m looking for someone who has an incredible capacity to love on a deeply spiritual level. My ideal partner is adventurous, ambitious, humble, patient, forgiving, trusting and trustworthy.
Biggest turn-off: Impatience, arrogance and men who are self absorbed and inconsiderate of others.
Biggest turn-on: A man who pays attention to detail and knows how to turn the most mundane moments into magical moments.
Hobbies: I love exercise and fitness, travel and the arts. I spend a lot of time at comedy clubs and small concert venues around the city.
Describe your ideal first date: A really good stand-up comedy show, you can learn a lot about a person from watching the things he laughs at. And I am more attractive when I smile and laugh.
Favorite TV show: “Six Feet Under” is the greatest TV show of all time.
Celebrity crush: Odell Beckham Jr.
One obscure fact about yourself: I really want to be a farmer.

The occasion was the Blu-ray releases of two of his movies — the 1977 dark comedy “Desperate Living” and his enduring 1988 musical “Hairspray” — on June 23 by the Criterion Collection, which publishes restorations of films it deems culturally important. The Criterion stamp of approval has become the gold standard among cinephiles.
“It’s like getting an award,” said Waters, who wrote and directed both films.
