It would be wonderful to become what Oprah has become: she is in such a class of her own, as an entrepreneur, as a performer and an icon.

I would never go back to doing the show again. I mean, every day I think about Lifestyles because somebody comes up to me and tells me how much they love the show and I should bring it back, but this is not the time to bring it back. I don't think it would be as successful today as it once was.
