From Mr. Know-It-All: The Tarnished Wisdom of a Filth Elder, by John Waters
PIA
"Pia Zadora was brave to make Hairspray with me at the pinnacle of her screen notoriety. I'm proud that I got her good reviews for her performance as a beatnick chick. Allen Ginsberg seemed offended when I asked him for permission for Pia's character to read 'Howl' out loud in the movie. Lighten up, Allen; I wasn't making fun of the poem or Pia. Both were iconic without irony in my book. Did I bring up your unrepentant membership in NAMBLA, the long-term pedophile's rights group? No, I did not. Don't be so judgmental. Pia never was."
