Jordan Riefe of the L.A. Times: For the audio piece “Sound of a Hit,” you placed a microphone in the box office of a theater?
John Waters: I asked the Senator Theatre in Baltimore if I could put a microphone inside the box office [on the] opening day of “Harry Potter,” so all you hear is the sound of money.
