Jenny Eclair

What has happened to the good old-fashioned travel agent? I want to go to a really posh travel agent and have them organise everything for me. I don't want to do things on the Internet.

Travel
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.

Respect
Jenny Eclair

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.

Poetry
Jenny Eclair

I don't do marriage. I think it's incredibly naff. And I don't like vulgar displays of ostentation.

Marriage
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.

Home

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.

Funny
Jenny Eclair

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.

Funny

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.

Fear
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.

Education

I think I might actually die of showing off. It'll be on my headstone - 'Cause of Death: Showing Off.'

Death
Jenny Eclair

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.

Dad
Jenny Eclair

After graduating from flares and platforms in the early 1970s, I started drama school wearing a pair of khaki dungarees with one of my Dad's Army shirts, accessorised by a cat's basket doubling as a handbag. Very Lady Gaga.

Dad

Anne Sullivan Sympathy

Children require guidance and sympathy far more than instruction.
