The one and only Oprah Winfrey appears in the November issue of Harper's Bazaar—which hits newsstands October 23rd. Check out a sneak peek at Winfrey's gorgeous photoshoot and some words of wisdom from one of the most iconic television personalities of all time.
On her decision to start OWN:“This is the deal, when you have reached the peak of the mountaintop, which is where I was with the Oprah show, you have absolutely no worries. I’d been in the right space at the right time, and I’d done that the best way possible for 25 years. But you have two choices: you can come down from the mountain and spend the rest of your days thinking it was so beautiful there or you can create a vision, look upward, see the next mountain, and start the climb all over again.”
On the initial problem with OWN: “What was missing from OWN was me. It required my full-on energy. You know, this past year has been challenging, but it’s also been one of the greatest experiences for me getting to know me. What do you do when you don’t have the wind at your back?”
On trying to live up to her most celebrated maxim, "Live your best life": “I’m
a work in progress when it comes to practicing that famous motto. Like
this morning, I had the intention to meditate for 20 minutes, but I
really only made it about 12. And then I said, ‘Okay, don’t beat
yourself up; you did the 12.’ I had the intention to work out for an
hour, but I only did a half. And even with that I was still a half hour
late getting here, so…”
On her guilty pleasures: “Oh I have downloaded all the Fifty Shades of Grey novels and for the first time I can take some guilty pleasure and just read. But I’m thinking, stop with the story, get to the juicy part!”
On her greatest indulgence: “Bathing is my hobby. I love creating bathing experiences – bath gels, bubbles, crystals, salts, lavender milks…" Does she go prune? "Oh, yeah! I go prune. I go waaaay prune. I've gone to sleep."
