Feinberg Talks to Oprah Winfrey, James Earl Jones and Dick Smith on the Gov’s Awards

Hollywood Reporter’s Scott Feinberg chats with the honorary Oscar recipients for this year — exclusive audio is worth a listen.  Here is a bit from Oprah herself:

“I grew up thinking I was fatherless, except for my quote ‘Heavenly Father.’ So I’d go to church — you know, my grandmother was very religious — and I’d sit there, and they’d talk about, you know, God being your Father… So that’s what I grew up with as my creed, really—believing that, “Oh, I come from God; God’s my father; so therefore I come from greatness and I can do anything.’ So I would have to say that that belief in a power greater than myself, and believing that I always had that to rely on, is what has helped me in everything in my life. That belief system has helped me to believe that there was no glass ceiling. That belief system has helped me to believe, ‘So what, there’s racism? So what, there’s sexism?’ You know? ‘I come from something that’s greater and bigger than all of that.'”

Oprah. She still so totally rocks.
