As Quentin Crisp once wrote and I agree:
“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; AND THE THIRD IS THAT YOU CAN’T THINK WHAT TO DO WITH THE LONG WINTER EVENINGS.”

Quentin was such a wonderful character, wasn’t he? I had the pleasure of seeing him perform at the Theatre Royal in Bath more years ago than I care to recall. Even though every one of his stories had oft been told before, he was such a delightful person and wonderful storyteller that I was convulsed with tears of laughter. He also had a very wonderful way of putting down anyone foolish enough to heckle him.
