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 rather dusty icon
“I think there is an accepted way that a face should be, and I’m not like that.”
“It’s what turns up, quite honestly. When I started out I didn’t have any of this in mind. Not a scrap of it. I just thought it was going to be all theatre and wonderful.”
"Old, old mad women... they seem to be the one thing I can do now. You know, it's funny to be pigeonholed so late in life, but there we are."
“If you have been around long enough you are an icon. A rather dusty icon... or a national treasure.”
Dame Margaret Natalie Smith, CH, DBE (born 28th December 1934)
