Snapshot:

Mr Crisp, born Denis Charles Pratt, was an English writer and raconteur. He became a gay icon in the 1970s after publication of his memoir, His book titled 'The Naked Civil Servant', brought to the attention of the general public his defiant exhibitionism and refusal to remain in the closet.

Listen to Sting's song: Englishman in New York, which includes the lines:

“It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile,

Be yourself no matter what they say.”

John Hurt在英國人在紐約中飾演Quentin Crisp。講述了Quentin Crisp從英國到紐約後的生活，他遇上的人，他遇上的事，他的激情演講，他的默默流淚。他受人歡迎，激勵他人，他被人誤解，遭人攻擊。第五大道上的徘徊，咖啡屋裡的沉思。他從不介意。

I don′t take coffee I take tea my dear

I like my toast done on one side

And you can hear it in my accent when I talk

I′m an Englishman in New York

See me walking down Fifth Avenue

A walking cane here at my side

I take it everywhere I walk

I′m an Englishman in New York

I′m an alien I′m a legal alien

I′m an Englishman in New York

I′m an alien I′m a legal alien

I′m an Englishman in New York

I′m an alien I′m a legal alien

I′m an Englishman in New York

I′m an alien I′m a legal alien

I′m an Englishman in New York

If, "Manners maketh man" as someone said

Then he′s the hero of the day

It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile

Be yourself no matter what they say

I′m an alien I′m a legal alien

I′m an Englishman in New York

I′m an alien I′m a legal alien

I′m an Englishman in New York

Modesty, propriety can lead to notoriety

You could end up as the only one

Gentleness, sobriety are rare in this society

At night a candle′s brighter than the sun

Takes more than combat gear to make a man

Takes more than a license for a gun

Confront your enemies, avoid them when you can

A gentleman will walk but never run

If, "Manners maketh man" as someone said

Then he′s the hero of the day

It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile

Be yourself no matter what they say

I′m an alien I′m a legal alien

I′m an Englishman in New York

I′m an alien I′m a legal alien

I′m an Englishman in New York
