More From Jenny Eclair
- "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."
- "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."

- "That is what I did with Jack, and that’s why he liked to do the readings with me because he knew I was there for him, and for our ability to blend the poetry and the music."― David Amram
- "A lyric, it is true, is the expression of personal emotion, but then so is all poetry, and to suppose that there are several kinds of poetry, differing from each other in essence, is to be deceived by wholly artificial divisions which have no real being."― John Drinkwater
- "An experienced reader uses the poem as an agent of inquiry. This makes poetry very exciting, unstable, and interactive."― John Barton
