I wouldn't say I was grumpy. It's more pathological - I have seismic tantrums. I get red in the face and cry at least three times a week, and I have to lie down and have a nap afterwards.

Jenny Eclair
I'm very jealous of my daughter's education. She's been inspired by her teachers, and nobody inspired me as a teenager.
Jenny Eclair
I don't think I'm successful.
Jenny Eclair
I prefer highs and lows to an even keel. Moderation is never something I've been good at.
Jenny Eclair
I've got a hat face. My mother always said I've got a hat face
Jenny Eclair
Well, I really don't like heights. I don't get on the top deck of a double-decker because that's a bit high for me. I always feel that I'm going to hurl myself off, so heights are a problem.
Jenny Eclair
As a five-year-old in Berlin in 1965, I didn't know that funny women existed. It wasn't until I got back to England that I realised women could be funny.
Jenny Eclair
I have always had a need for attention but didn't plan to be a comic.
