After a near 20-year absence, billionaire media mogul and former talk show host, Oprah Winfrey has proven she still has what it takes to be a cover star. The 64 year old is the cover star of the August edition of British Vogue. In the interview with the magazine, Oprah Winfrey opened up about race, feminism, her royal wedding appearance and rumoured move into politics.

Here are excerpts of the media mogul’s interview

On the 
#MeToo and #TimesUp movements
People talk about ‘these are such dark times’, but what if we shift the paradigm? Because I see it differently. I see, ‘Isn’t this remarkable that we’re waking up?’ For years, women have endured craziness. This is what’s happening to people. They’re allowing themselves to not just become corroded, but to become hysterical. You’ve got to lean to the happiness.

On plans of running for political office
In that political structure, all the non-truths, the bullshit, the crap, the nastiness, the backhanded backroom stuff that goes on, I feel like I could not exist. I would not be able to do it. It’s not a clean business. It would kill me.

On her take away from the Royal Wedding
It left me feeling that anything is possible through the power of love. Reverend Curry was right!
