I'm English. I've lived all over the UK. Everybody talks to me constantly. In shops, on a bench, on a bus, on a train, walking down the street, in a waiting room, at the barbers - wherever I go I get life stories in rapid fire, and sometimes get caught for hours. Quentin had a very different experience than I do. I wish people wouldn't talk as I'm very introverted, and have lots of mental health issues, but for some reason people see me as a person they can confide in, and I find myself in all sorts of situations. I'm painfully polite, and should be more assertive, but I just can't somehow.

Wonderful, memories. A sparkling soul.

U were such a gentleman RIP mr Quiton Crisp❤❤❤❤❤

Uma pessoa admirável, gentil, inteligente, como gostaria de tè-lo conhecido.

He looks great with makeup! Wish I had known him.

What a marvelous, marvelous humain being!

Thank you 😊

That's my manor! Right opposite Sint Anthony's Kirke! Toll!

He understood that one has to be Younique or you are worth nothing in the world. If you don’t offer your true self to the world then you are not fulfilling your plan as it was meant to be. It is his utter honesty that fascinated the world, the secret of happiness that he had found that others did not have the courage to explore. Be true to thyself.

Every one in America is your friend not like in england...

He's looking so sharp and dapper as usual. And imagine at his then age when most people of that age or less suffer from dementia he was still sharp as a pin and such a storyteller. He was such a remarkable and polite man.

True words. Wonderful man 🙏🇮🇪

His decrepit old arse was open to all comers.

Icon

I would have LOVED this man to have been my friend....Yet, now, I would be missing him....He was the type of person who was irriplacable

One long party. How profound

Hello, children of the future. If - in your scholastic research - you are cross-referencing "man" and "honest", then this person Quentin Crisp is a _very_ good place for you to start.

Lovely man. But who is the camera man? David Blunket? Dreadful.

Its never too late,to start all over again! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Death in Venice or New York?

An inspiration for us all RIP Quentin.

I’m glad he was treated with respect later in his life that he should have always had .

Pretty good for a previous male prostitute 🥲. Life is unpredictable. Kind optimism and acceptance is the only way to get on with it.

He died a few months after this sadly...

This isn't Soho, Soho is in London. This is SoHo.

He means southern England is unfriendly, not the north.

I remember as a 7 year old watching the Naked Civil Servant. My father was angered, puzzled and bemused. My mother complained that this ' sort of thing'shoupd not be shown on the television. A kind of genuine moral indignation, but it lacked a basis for any clarity of thought.

He paints a false and misleading image of England and also New York. His experience is of London not England. The norther part of England is friendly, the southern are more distant. American friendliness is only skin deep, its superficial and not genuine. They tend to be loud and brash- generally. The English are more reserved, do not boast and are more low key about themselves, their country and achievements. Having said that, I know what he means in a more general sense. I like their warmth and good natured approach to life. I've been to New York and loved it.

Folks here in Austin still recall and discuss his visit in 1998. He appeared at the Vortex Theater. Quentin was very kind to sign an autograph for me, and I look at it very often. 🌷

He was quite frail there bless his heart and unfortunately died in the November just 6 months later 😢

A wonderful human being. A true gentlemen, wistful, intelligent and very well informed.

Just a few months before the end.

He was truly a one of. ❤God bless Mr. Crisp.

They're all on the make Quinten they aren't your friends. They want to be on tv.

Having grieved over my partner’s death for eight years before seeing the surface, I might disagree with Quentin. But that’s the beauty of this man who speaks his mind in absolute truth of his own. You don’t have to always agree with him to like him. I’ve watched every film clip I can get my hands on to see this man speak. He is a treasure and we are so lucky to have these guardian angels that filmed him listen to him appreciated him, hung out with him and helped him in his journey through life.

Was he San?

so glad he lived long enough to get the respect he deserved

1:29 - 1:40 so true

His dark humor was on another level. He was rarely serious, almost always ironic. But that being said, his dark humor and irony showed more wisdom than most serious college lectures.

His little smile was always precious.

What a joke

Hahaha, turn in your grave with what the ANC is doing

I love finding Videos of this Genius to think he was up on 90 here.I hope they done his make up like this before he was creamated.He would have wanted that he would say i want to look my best meeting my folks again. What a lovely person but sadly to much in his own world to ever have had a relationship as its all about compromise you can't have your cake and eat it sadly.Thankfully I found that out at 45 I'd find fault with a Saint nobody is perfect especially myself.I now have a lovely relationship and a baby on the way.I had to Weigh up the benefits been single as against been in a relationship.

I miss him He had such amazing rhythm

He died just six months after this footage was shot. Interestingly he was a relative of actor Boris Karloff's as well.

Hahahah. This is the epitome of ignorance.

Thank you so much for uploading this. What a lovely fellow he was.

England should be proud of Quentin Crisp

It should be SoHo.(South of Houston (street)) . Soho is in London.

Bless him he died later that year 1999 in the October or November I think
