CAMP: "A cornucopia of frivolity, incongruity, theatricality, and humour." "A deadly, winking, sniggering, snuggling, chromium-plated, scent-impregnated, luminous, quivering, giggling, fruit-flavored, mincing, ice-covered heap of mother love." "The lie that tells the truth." "Ostentatious, exaggerated, affected, theatrical; effeminate or homosexual; pertaining to or characteristic of homosexuals."

A girl called Billie
"Perhaps it sounds like false modesty, but I know I could have done far more with my acting life than I have... I had a collaboration with Beckett; I was a conduit for him. But I've never really felt like a proper actress."
"I always thought [acting] was a bit of a flibbertigibbety occupation."
“Death’s not one of those things that frighten the life out of me. Getting up on stage with the curtain going up frightens me more."
RIP another of our most beloved actresses, Miss Billie Whitelaw CBE (6th June 1932 – 21st December 2014)
