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.

More quotes by Oprah Winfrey
For me to live in a world that is not inclusive of other people who are not Christian would be the opposite of Christianity.
Oprah Winfrey
I consider this world to be like a school and our lives to be the classrooms.
Oprah Winfrey
I cannot be defined by what other people think.
Oprah Winfrey
There's a surge, there's a kind of energy field that says, 'I'm in my groove, I'm in my groove.' and nobody has to tell you, 'You go, girl,' because you know you're already gone.
Oprah Winfrey
If you come to fame not understanding who you are, it will define who you are. It shouldn't change you. If you're a jerk, you just get to be a bigger jerk. What fame does is magnify who you are and puts that on a platter for the whole world to see.
Oprah Winfrey
I believe your personality is formed at a very early age. Fame can magnify that personality, for good or bad, but it can't change it. So when people say to me, 'Don't change,' I'm thinking, To what? To who? Who else would I be?
Oprah Winfrey
When I didn't have friends, I had books.
Oprah Winfrey
Alone time is when I distance myself from the voices of the world so I can hear my own.
Oprah Winfrey
I did not believe what I was told about being poor and black and female in Mississippi in 1954.
Oprah Winfrey
I have a lot of things to prove to myself. One is that I can live my life fearlessly.
Oprah Winfrey
What dogs? These are my children, little people with fur who make my heart open a little wider.
Oprah Winfrey
There were no ugly people in Ethiopia
Oprah Winfrey
You've got to figure out what it is you love - who you really are - and have the courage to do that.
Oprah Winfrey
Surround yourself with only people who are going to lift you higher.
Oprah Winfrey
I was happy over little things: mango sorbet, and running, and the way my feet felt touching the ground when I ran.
Oprah Winfrey
Anybody who has ever done anything knows that, when you believe, it doesn't matter what other people think. You just have to keep finding a way to align your vision with other people who will receive and accept your vision. And when the time is right, if it is for you, it will show itself, if you believe.
Oprah Winfrey
What I know for sure is this: The big secret in life is that there is no big secret. Whatever your goal for this year is, you can get there - as long as you're willing to be honest with yourself about the preparation and work involved. There are no back doors, no free rides. There's just you, this moment, and a choice.
Oprah Winfrey
Listen. Pay attention. Treasure every moment.
Oprah Winfrey
Often when someone comes to you and wants to vent, it's so tempting to start giving advice. But if you allow the person just to let the feelings out, and then at another time come back with advice or comments, that person would experience a deeper healing.
Oprah Winfrey
God can dream a better dream for you than you can!
Oprah Winfrey
