Oprah Winfrey

Whatever has happened to you in your past has no power over this present moment, because life is now.

Unless you choose to do great things with it, it makes no difference how much you are rewarded, or how much power you have.

The challenge of life, I have found, is to build a resume that doesn't simply tell a story about what you want to be, but it's a story about who you want to be.

'TMZ' has the cash to buy off valets and info like flight lists or even the limo list of what celeb is being picked up where and when.

It took me realizing that a broken heart has never actually killed anyone to find the courage to ask for what I want, in just about every situation. That was part of my own growing up.

I'm so hands-on, from the color of my tour bus to what I eat for dinner at 5 or the way the lights are hung.
