More quotes by Jenny Eclair

Jenny Eclair
I prefer highs and lows to an even keel. Moderation is never something I've been good at.

Jenny Eclair
There should be more booing in shops and restaurants and places like that when when the service is bad. If you've had a poor breakfast in a hotel, you should put your knife and fork down and boo.
Jenny Eclair
Well, I'm not good with sliminess. I hate the thought of creatures that have slime on them or creatures that leave a slimy trail. At home, the sight of a slug can bring up my breakfast.
Jenny Eclair
I think my siblings sometimes have to defend me within their social circles - they are both barristers.
Jenny Eclair
I am best viewed from a distance.
Jenny Eclair
Family is the one thing that is definitely not disposable.
Jenny Eclair
I've got this horrible feeling that I'm one of those people who'll always have to flog their guts out to get anywhere.
Jenny Eclair
My older sister is bossy, my brother is a stirrer and me - well, I am perfect!
