Dreams become reality when we put our minds to it.

People have often asked me, do I want to be the next Oprah - there is no such thing. Oprah is Oprah, and she's still being Oprah if anybody hasn't noticed... what I bring to TV is myself... I really think there's space in daytime TV for a whole bunch of fun, some amazing music, and some heart.

To wanna be me is to go through not just the good but the bad. You wanna share my story identically? Man, you gonna take some lumps.
