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.

I just get grumpy with bad behaviour.

I can be a bit grumpy. I'm full of angst, and hormones.

Some people have told me that I'm grumpy; it's not something that I'm aware of. It's not like I walk around poking children in the eye... not very small ones, anyway.

And people are intrigued if I really am as grumpy in real life. People feel a bit let down if I'm laughing or smiling.

I'm not a dictator. It's just that I have a grumpy face.

One thing that's coming up a lot is: are you as grumpy as you appear from this Black Books thing.

Am I grumpy? I might be. But I think maybe sometimes it's misinterpreted.

I like to have everything smiley and happy for my husband. Men don't want to see a grumpy face at the end of a hard day.

I don't describe myself as a sociable person now. I can be quite... you know... grumpy? Is that a word? I guess I can be a bit grumpy.
