Oprah is OWNing it…
Media mogul Oprah Winfrey is photographed by Terry Richardson for HARPER’s BAZAAR US November 2012! While sitting in a New York photo studio, Winfrey shares bits and pieces of her day-to-day life with the mag as well as her ‘new challenges.’
Enjoy photos from the shoot along with excerpts from her interview below:
“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…”
Along with “finishing the job I started with this network,” Winfrey has ventured back into acting, in Lee Daniels’s The Butler, out next year. In Oprah-land, a role in a film by the director of Precious and The Paperboy was “a little mini vacation, but,” she lowers her voice dramatically, “I didn’t know what the hell acting was! I just now figured it out. I am so stunned because all this time I’ve been doing it wrong!” (Hoot and a high five.)
Her greatest indulgence, however, is a bath. “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.”
