I was very lucky. My parents raised me in such a way that it never occurred to me that I wasn't equal

I became so consumed with trying to live up to what the public expected that I lost myself. I don't know of anyone else who can say this

I went to find myself and save myself by being an agent

Oprah is so bright, and her intelligence is so piercing that I don't think anyone who spends a few minutes with her isn't struck by that.

There came a moment in my life when I realized that I had stepped into another part of my life. I used to walk into a room full of people and think, do they like me? And one day I walk in and I thought, do I like them?

I went to a woman for advice about how to be in business, but I learned a great deal from men

When I don't plumb the depths or the opportunities of each day, I don't have joy.
