I was once afraid of people saying, ‘Who does she think she is?’ Now I have the courage to stand and say, ‘This is who I am.’

I was raised to believe that excellence is the best deterrent to racism or sexism. And that’s how I operate my life.

Oprah Winfrey

I will tell you that there have been no failures in my life. I don’t want to sound like some metaphysical queen, but there have been no failures. There have been some tremendous lessons.

Oprah Winfrey

I’m a truth seeker. That’s what I do every day on the show – put out the truth. Some people don’t like it, they call it sensational, but I say life is sensational.

Oprah Winfrey

I’m black, I don’t feel burdened by it and I don’t think it’s a huge responsibility. It’s part of who I am. It does not define me.

Oprah Winfrey

I’m definitely not a traditionalist, because a traditionalist would be going to church every Sunday.

Oprah Winfrey

I’m easy to look at, but so hard to see.

Oprah Winfrey

I’ve always known that life is better when you share it. I now realize it gets even sweeter when you expand the circle.

Oprah Winfrey

I’ve come to believe that each of us has a personal calling that’s as unique as a fingerprint.

Oprah Winfrey

If a man wants you, nothing can keep him away. If he doesn’t want you, nothing can make him stay.
