“I love the Wendy Syred boutique in Taunton. She has fantastic off-the-...” — Kate O'Mara Quote

“I love the Wendy Syred boutique in Taunton. She has fantastic off-the-wall stuff, such as Vivienne Westwood. And I always have huge success in Omah Shoes, which is also in Taunton. I've got such small feet - three and a half - but I always find my size there.”

“I would like to be where Diana Rigg or Judi Dench is, but I expect it is as good as it is going to get.”

“I'm vegetarian and stick to a strict health regime of brown rice, tofu, salads and soya milk. When I'm at home in Somerset, I buy almost everything in the local farmshops including Barleymow's in Chard. I always get organic - I like happy hens.”

“People are starting to go on about my weight but I'm not going to change my size because they don't like the way I look.”

“This is who I am. I am never going to be a size zero.”

“Every audience is different, even within the same venue. You have to just make every audience your audience; you can't pre-judge an audience based on the size of the room or the type of room. You've just got to be in the moment and go with it.”
