Quentin Crisp
You must stop this interview now as I have come to end of my personality.
Quentin Crisp

Quentin Crisp
I don't believe in convention at all. I do what I have to do to stay alive.
Quentin Crisp
It's written into the Constitution that you're allowed to pursue happiness. In England it would be considered a frivolous objective.
Quentin Crisp
I don't think I have a tragic demeanor.
Quentin Crisp
You can't be a person and a lady. If you're a person, you can open the damned door yourself.
Quentin Crisp
