Quentin S. Crisp Quotes
As children in the seventies we were told about nebulous 'strangers'. By definition, we didn't know who these strangers were, and we didn't know what they wanted to do, but only that they were sinister. I think that was the stage the seventies were at.

It's about honoring the reality of people's lives, which defies conventions and clichés and expectations. People are interesting, period.
