Oh he was adorable! I love that shy smile that slowly lights up his face when he knows he's said something really witty! A wonderful human being, who loved other human beings, despite their many cruelties to him.
@@brinlowe3446 he was an inspiration for people to be what they are and be true to yourself. .imagine dressing like him in the 50's ??????? That's unbelievably brave ..a true hero ....if you haven't seen it check out the naked civil servant .it's his life story with john hurt brilliantly playing young Quentin .Quentin called hurt his representative on earth ...ha ..
God I adored this man ..that wonderful voice and fantastic attitude to life ...I was shocked to find in his last book that in his mind he was trans ..not an effeminate homosexual as he once described himself ..God bless u Quentin ..you were a legend ..
'On my passport it says that I'm a "writer," but really I am a cross between an evangelist and a clown.' - One of my favourite quotes from Mr. Crisp. My hero.
Chris Danns, you closet-lover, your tiny brain appears confused. Must be all that pumping iron and all that extended eye-contact with other gym bunnies. I bet you only do free weights as well, and *completely* neglect the cardio!! I'm right, I know I am
Very true ..loved the old longer interviews when u really got to know the person ..one show is awfull ..just plug plug plug ...miss wogan .parky .even harty ....
I remember watching this as a secondary school boy on the night it was broadcast, in my 'home' in Enfield, north London. I remember Crisp saying how young people had money: I recall thinking how I had bugger all money! I would have loved to have bumped into Crisp and bought him a cup of tea and had a chin wag.
I've only recently started to read up more about and watch interviews with the wonderful Quentin and I have to say, what a lovely man he appeared to be. Also, he was so very handsome as a young man.. his face was just breathtaking. Love listening to him too❣️
I've never come across an individual who explains everything so simple and truthful. This guy is absolutely amazing and we need individuals like him now.
he was such a cool man ...it must have been absolutely fascinating to know him ... what a wonderful dinner guest he must have been.. I imagine he suffered for his sexuality in pre and post war Britain ... but he always stayed true to himself ..
yes adorable I forgot how lovely he was when I saw his movie I had no idea what the word gay was who he was I knew nothing I'm not gay but still he was so fascinating as a person intresting as was kez, and scum
Never an ‘um...’ or an ‘ah...’ . Remarkably articulate person, maybe the last example of the one cultural benefit that hostility to homosexuals produced - the ability to experience and analyze society from outside it. Great art in many genres has come from this unique perspective.
Quentin lamented in later conversations that ,,,, The only thing in my life I have wanted and didn't get was to be a woman. It will be my life's biggest regret. If the operation had been available and cheap when I was young, say when I was twenty-five or twenty-six, I would have jumped at the chance. My life would have been much simpler as a result. There was zero chance in the 1920s and 1930s ,,,,, What an absolute treasure 💕💕💕

I love everything about Quentin Crisp. He is so amusing. I am a mix between an Evangelist and a Clown! Oh my goodness he had a way with words. I loved the fact he never cleaned. He was brill.
@Patrick3183 ...............these days you have prissy little queens "acting" effeminate and being loud just to draw attention to themselves..........the gays hated them in the 80s and tbhs still do but erm it may be called hate speech if a gay says they dont like sub sections within the "so called" (non existent) community.
Just like Oscar Wilde before and Morrisey since - Quentin wanted to be adored from afar. America was the perfect foil - in England we've always had the upper class twit, the village idiot and a stream of curiosities. Where as in America Quentin would always be the unique English curiosity and thus quench his need to be 'looked over' and never 'overlooked'.
@@garethglitter5932 Whatever the hell he was, he speaks with a clipped British accent, and is a condescending piece of shite. Futhermore, I am Irish and I have never heard of a name like Wogan. It sounds Anglo Saxon.
An attention seeker. The local library sold his book in a sale and muggins bought it. It was a world within a world: population 1. Admittedly, his writing is better than average, sometimes deft, so I finished it. In the book I found him self obsessed and indifferent towards others. Basically it had no soul.
Is this commentator for real asking Quentin Crisp whether he plays any sports? This is a kind of way to make fun of him and I think it’s wrong I love him Quentin crisp for way more things than what this guy has got to say
vordman Attraction (or likability) toward a man doesn’t depend on the man's sexuality. Women can be attracted to gay men either on the basis of their looks and/or because they are relatable. It does not translate logically that those men are therefore closet heterosexuals.

Old school Elegance,,, witty,, intellectual,, the sort of person you could listen to nonstop without getting bored...
What an absolute star-the world would be a happier place if people could pay attention to what Quentin has to say.
Oh he was adorable! I love that shy smile that slowly lights up his face when he knows he's said something really witty! A wonderful human being, who loved other human beings, despite their many cruelties to him.
Well said ...
Well said. 👍I'm an ex builder from Ireland, and he has enlightened me so much, and has brought out my more sensitive and kinder side to people.

Quinten was simply brilliant. He was so far ahead of his time; he is still in-front of us in 2023.
expertly dodges the giggles and teasing and produces pearls of wisdom

He was a true transexual. HSTS transexual. Not anything like the AGP transgenders of today. He’s more like Tula Cossey.
He did not know the USA, his experience was limited to New York.
He's such a wonderful & colourful Personality. He's refreshingly straightforward! Dommage he did not enjoy celebrity status earlier!
A beautiful, gentle, kind and fabulous man ❤🌈💚
'On my passport it says that I'm a "writer," but really I am a cross between an evangelist and a clown.'

It is but then he was full of them ..
This man is so captivating and eloquent
What a lovely lovely soul ... rip
A very wise man was Quentin . A wonderful individual
What a sweet darling xxx
Some words of wisdom here.....from both Mr Crisp and Wogan. This show used to air on BBC1 at 7pm. Its a far fucking cry from the One Show of today....
Qballs Hanratty what do you want at 7pm? Fucking life stories of a purple headed pofter? Well maybe thats not for everyone you douch!
Chris Danns, you closet-lover, your tiny brain appears confused. Must be all that pumping iron and all that extended eye-contact with other gym bunnies. I bet you only do free weights as well, and *completely* neglect the cardio!! I'm right, I know I am
Oh, you're so right. The One Show is piss poor, no wit, elegance, intelligence. Made by morons.
Very true ..loved the old longer interviews when u really got to know the person ..one show is awfull ..just plug plug plug ...miss wogan .parky .even harty ....
truly intelligent man

Lovely man!
Very, very wise man. Wish we had people like him in power.
Certainly save on aftershave.
It's really annoying how the audience are laughing, it comes across as disrespectful to Quentin. He was a very wise man.
Mike Hudson The audience would not understand the meaning of intellect in any form.
He's absolutely trying to make them laugh!
Even Terry asking some good questions here. RIP both!
A beautiful mind.
I've only recently started to read up more about and watch interviews with the wonderful Quentin and I have to say, what a lovely man he appeared to be. Also, he was so very handsome as a young man.. his face was just breathtaking. Love listening to him too❣️
Such an insightful, interesting man. So self aware, self deprecating and funny.
Wonderful man 🙏🇮🇪
Terry is lovely in this interview. He really seems to like Quentin.
I've never come across an individual who explains everything so simple and truthful. This guy is absolutely amazing and we need individuals like him now.
I've only just learned about Mr. Crisp. I feel very lucky that I have.
he was such a cool man ...it must have been absolutely fascinating to know him ... what a wonderful dinner guest he must have been.. I imagine he suffered for his sexuality in pre and post war Britain ... but he always stayed true to himself ..
If Wilde is considered the greatest wit of the C19th then surely Crisp was the greatest of the C20th.
He is a humorous man but beneath the funny there is very serious stuff. People are a bit too Quick to laugh
yes adorable I forgot how lovely he was when I saw his movie I had no idea what the word gay was who he was I knew nothing I'm not gay but still he was so fascinating as a person intresting as was kez, and scum
He was so inspirational and boy do we need some of his wisdom these days.
Quentin Crisp wrote good books. Read them!
AN ABSOLUTE ICON!!!! ❤️
Quentin Oscar together, two of my BESTEST favourite real humans men to have walked this earth, hope one day to meet them both..!

Actually in the first 40 seconds he says um
cheese and onion or salt and vinigar? Remember smiths bovril crisps? delightful
@WilliamZeebub ........or salt n, shake ............i absolutely loved pickled onion crisps.......cant say i tried bovril :)
ghastly cheap audience.
Ghastly cheap show.
Very clever man , very perceptive and brave
Absolute icon.

And was quite happy to lie On his bed all day " contemplating his naval " hugely lazy and proud ...lol
Beyond the performative, he doesn't say anything that's interesting. On punks he's just another boomer.
Such a remarkable man.
Does this sort of Englishman exist anymore
I don't think they ever did. Quentin Crisp was an absolute one off.

I like this interviewer a great deal. In some ways he reminds me of Dick Cavett. Both he and Crisp are calm, poised, and attentive.
i was bullied at school etc i can relate to him im a feminine man i to have been bashed for just being me disgusting how the audience is laughing
What a treasure of a human being!
Every word is a joy
A fascinating man to listen to have to say.
Battle of the elaborate hairdoos
What brilliantly intelligent and engaging man

What a guy 😉✌️
A real sweetly!
They need him in America now.
Legend & Icon.
Well, the punks definitely put chains on themselves 😂
Love this wonderful character ❗🌹
1977
Quinton Crisp for President!
I adore him so much!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
His hair is similar in style to Donald Trumps.
But Trump has no class.
And that's pretty much the only comparison to Trump you can make really....
A wonderful man.
Now im an adult i realise what an absolute bafoon Terry Wogan and his audience were.
Brave and brilliant
Just marvellous.
lovely couple....
The interviewer and the audience, so 1980's British, is why he left Britain.
Wogan was Irish.

@@Themanwhocameback2 Really? I was never a huge fan of Wogan...but I don't see what about him you find condescending in this clip tbh.
@Themanwhocameback2 ....never assume......watch all his other clips and see why he left.
int'resting!
Quentin crisp ....forget about it
Paulie Gautieri and his fake loyalty towards Tony Soprano
Brilliant
Brilliant.
Wogan at his very best

I think Quentin was a closet heterosexual as I've never met a woman who didn't like him.
vordman he never cleaned his house either. Typical man.

No idea who this clown is, but he's insightful.

Quentin was such a lovely gentle soul ❤
