An evening with Quentin Crisp, The wit and wisdom of the irreplaceable irascible Quentin Crisp.
I had to hunt this lecture down in the bowels of the internet and re upload it, because it was no longer available for streaming in its full form anywhere. Everyone deserves to learn and benefit from the wit and wisdom of queer pioneer Quentin Crisp. This lecture, and the other assorted works of Mr. Crisp are a valuable inheritance for LGBTQ persons and they are in imminent peril of being lost and forgotten forever, consigned to the dustbin of queer history, erased from the grand tapestry of the story of queer liberation and struggle. It is more important than ever to preserve our story and remember the courage, integrity and strength of our predecessors as the Trump presidency looms.

The quality of this short film on Quentin Crisp, directed by Denis Mitchell in 1968, is pretty poor but as the film is so interesting, probably even historic, perhaps this can be forgiven, having been recorded on the out-dated video tape system - and through a badly adjusted analog ariel. It is, nevertheless, a fascinating glimpse into a part of Crisp's life before he became widely known through the 1975 TV movie "The Naked Civil Servant" in which John Hurt's superb performance earned him awards, and later, when Crisp himself became a huge "star" in the US performing his own one-man show, and being the toast of chat shows...

Quentin Crisp
Quentin Crisp (born Denis Charles Pratt, (1908-12-25)25 December 1908 – 21 November 1999(1999-11-21)) was an English writer and raconteur.
From a conventional suburban background Crisp grew up with feminine tendencies exemplified by his make-up and painted nails and work as a rent-boy. He then spent thirty years as a professional model for life-classes in art colleges. The interviews he gave about his unusual life attracted increasing public curiosity and he was soon sought after for his highly individual views on social manners and the cultivating of style. His one-man stage show was a long-running hit both in England and America and he also appeared in films and on TV. Crisp possessed a contrarian streak, criticising both gay liberation and Diana, Princess of Wales.
Biography
Early life
Denis Charles Pratt was born in Sutton, Surrey, the fourth child of solicitor Spencer Charles Pratt (1871–1931) and former governess Frances Marion Pratt (née Phillips; 1873–1960). His elder siblings were Katherine (1901–1976), Gerald (1902–1983) and Lewis (1907–1968). He changed his name to Quentin Crisp in his twenties after leaving home and cultivating his effeminate appearance to a standard that both shocked contemporary Londoners and provoked homophobic attacks.

Curious about but impervious to trends, he describes AIDS as a "fad, nothing more", actually to divert heterosexual anger but he is misinterpreted and reviled by many gays. A return to popularity occurs when he helps Patrick Angus, a young, AIDS-afflicted artist attain fame for his paintings and his healthy cynicism is marketed by performance artist Penny Arcade, putting him back in the limelight. Poor health causes him to refuse a lecture tour of England but he gives a triumphant final audience at a gay club in Tampa. A postscript informs that he died at the age of 91.

Quotes:
Chat Show Host: His extraordinary story, The Naked Civil Servant, which was broadcast last night has been described as the triumph of the resolute individual against the faceless multitude. He is Mr. Quentin Crisp.Quentin Crisp: Buying is more American than thinking.
Quentin Crisp: Persistence is your greatest weapon. It is in the nature of barriers that they fall. Do not seek to become like your opponents. You have the burden and the great joy of being outsiders. Every day you live as a kind of triumph. This you should cling onto. You should make no effort to try and join society. Stay right where you are. Give your name and serial number and wait for society to form itself around you. Because it will most certainly will. Neither look forward where there is doubt nor backward where this is regret. Look inward and ask not if there is anything outside that you want but whether there is anything inside that you have not yet unpacked.

Famous quotes by Quentin Crisp:
"If at first you don't succeed, failure may be your style."
"Vice is its own reward"
"There are three reasons for becoming a writer: the first is that you need the money; the second that you have something to say that you think the world should know; the third is that you can't think what to do with the long winter evenings."
"My mother protected me from the world and my father threatened me with it."
"The young always have the same problem - how to rebel and conform at the same time. They have now solved this by defying their parents and copying one another."
"However low a man sinks he never reaches the level of the police."
"Never get involved with someone who wants to change you"
"It is explained that all relationships require a little give and take. This is untrue. Any partnership demands that we give and give and give and at the last, as we flop into our graves exhausted, we are told that we didn't give enough."
"Sex is the last refuge of the miserable"
"The formula for achieving a successful relationship is simple: you should treat all disasters as if they were trivialities but never treat a triviality as if it were a disaster"
"The British do not expect happiness. I had the impression, all the time that I lived there, that they do not want to be happy; they want to be right."
"In an expanding universe, time is on the side of the outcast. Those who once inhabited the suburbs of human contempt find that without changing their address they eventually live in the metropolis."
"I recommend limiting one's involvement in other people's lives to a pleasantly scant minimum."
"Nothing more rapidly inclines a person to go into a monastery than reading a book on etiquette. There are so many trivial ways in which it is possible to commit some social sin."
"Though intelligence is powerless to modify character, it is a dab hand at finding euphemisms for its weaknesses."
"Is not the whole world a vast house of assignation of which the filing system has been lost?"
"An autobiography is an obituary in serial form with the last installment missing."
"Vice is its own reward. It is virtue which, if it is to be marketed with consumer appeal, must carry Green Shield stamps."
"For flavor, instant sex will never supersede the stuff you have to peel and cook."
"The poverty from which I have suffered could be diagnosed as "Soho" poverty. It comes from having the airs and graces of a genius and no talent."

The quality of this short film on Quentin Crisp, directed by Denis Mitchell in 1968, is pretty poor but as the film is so interesting, probably even historic, perhaps this can be forgiven, having been recorded on the out-dated video tape system - and through a badly adjusted analog ariel. It is, nevertheless, a fascinating glimpse into a part of Crisp's life before he became widely known through the 1975 TV movie "The Naked Civil Servant" in which John Hurt's superb performance earned him awards, and later, when Crisp himself became a huge "star" in the US performing his own one-man show, and being the toast of chat shows...

Filmed the year 'The Naked Civil Servant' was first published, and before he had become a household name, this very rare footage of Quentin Crisp was filmed as part of a series of interviews by Bernard Braden which were never broadcast.
In these rushes, an unusually restrained Crisp reveals his renowned wit and unconventional opinions when asked some imaginative questions about whether homosexuals would make good world leaders and whether gay men write better parts for actresses than straight men. He also talks about the misogyny inherent in British culture, comparing it with homophobia. (Alex Davidson)

"Audiences asked themselves why the human relationships in which most of us dabble were not good enough for her. In each picture that she reluctantly consented to make, Miss Garbo alone of all the cast seemed to have read the entire scenario. She knew things would turn out badly. When she smiled, it was always in a sickly fashion and merely to humor us. Long ago, in some now-extinct Swedish university, Miss Garbo must have majored in hopeless love."
