Private Life
Gill is gay. He lived from the 1960s until 2006 in a small flat in the Thameside house formerly belonging to George Devine and later bought by playwright Donald Howarth and his civil partner George Goetschuis. Gill gets several mentions in the diary of Joe Orton, for whom he directed a double bill of former television plays by Orton at the Royal Court called 'Crimes of Passion'. Orton visited him at home 11 April 1966 when he says Gill made him a curious lunch out of a tin and he also met Donald Howarth.

Famous quotes related to private life:
“The others ‘acted’ a role; I was the role. She who was Mary Garden died that it might live. That was my genius ... and my sacrifice. It drained off so much of me that by comparison my private life was empty. I could not give myself completely twice.”
—Mary Garden (1874–1967)
