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

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.

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

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

When I became a mature woman, I put both feet firmly on the side of maturity.

I enjoy speaking to other women about turning 50, and how we can enjoy it, and how we can explore it

When women work together, it's a bond unlike any other.
