Quotes by Jenny Eclair
- I admire the Elsie Tanners and Barbara Windsors of the world: people who have crawled back from the abyss. I'm quite camp in that respect.
- I can't watch other people doing comedy. As soon as somebody starts being funny I have to turn off because it upsets me. I get comedy indigestion. I just hate anybody else being funny. That's my job.
- I don't do marriage. I think it's incredibly naff. And I don't like vulgar displays of ostentation.
- I have a fear of poverty in old age. I have this vision of myself living in a skip and eating cat food. It's because I'm freelance, and I've never had a proper job. I don't have a pension, and my savings are dwindling. I always thought someone would just come along and look after me.
- I think I might actually die of showing off. It'll be on my headstone - 'Cause of Death: Showing Off.'
- I was trained as an actress. But I wasn't a very convincing actress, so I started doing punk poetry and then fell into doing stand-up.
- I'm very jealous of my daughter's education. She's been inspired by her teachers, and nobody inspired me as a teenager.
- I've just got crap hair. Although I inherited a lot of stuff from my dad, including giant knees, I didn't get his good, thick hair. I got my mother's thin, wispy, non-event hair instead.
