The chance to love and be loved exists no matter who or where you are.

Everybody's life matters.

That's what life is: an open door to all that is possible. And that's a powerful thing.

I am guided by the vision of what I believe this show can be. Originally our goal was to uplift, enlighten, encourage and entertain through the medium of television. Now, our mission statement for The Oprah Winfrey Show is to use television to transform people's lives, to make viewers see themselves differently and to bring happiness and a sense of fulfillment into every home.

You become what you believe. You are where you are today in your life based on everything you have believed.

Intent and service-that is my motto.

I also like some of Joel Osteen's work. I think he's now doing a book about one of my favorite sermons of his, "The Power of 'I Am.' " I just love that sermon.
