Will your new TV talk show this fall be like Oprah's?Yes and no. Oprah doesn't have kids. I'm a single mom. I've dealt with divorce twice, I've reinvented myself more times than Madonna. I don't have 6,000 nannies. I teach Sunday school, I cook dinner for my kids, I've lost and gained weight, I've been through depression and heartbreak. I have a voice that's very real.
