Oprah Winfrey has no plans to retire even though she is turning 70-years-old next month.
The movie and TV star said that she will work until her &#8216;last breath is done&#8217; when speaking to People on Wednesday about her film The Color Purple for their cover story.
&#8216;I will never be done until my last breath is done,&#8217; the 69-year-old told the outlet. &#8216;And whenever that happens, it will be a peaceful breath.&#8217;
The actress — who also told the publication she has used a weight loss drug — said she will also continue to feel good about where she is in her life.
&#8216;Gratitude really is my religion,&#8217; she said. &#8216;It was spiritual opening for me to see my life in a different way.&#8217;

She also mentioned that since it has been 12 years since the last episode of her talk show, there is a generation of people, &#8216;who only know me through memes and through what they&#8217;ve heard [through] their parents or grandparents.&#8217;
She continued: &#8216;Because what I hear all the time is, &#8220;My mother loves you. My mother loves you.&#8221;&#8216;
She noted that is &#8216;great for me&#8217; but has allowed her to realize it is important to focus on &#8216;abundance rather than scarcity&#8217; and to &#8216;stand solidly&#8217; in herself.
&#8216;What I realize is that being able to stand solidly in the maturity of my own spiritual growth has been the thing that has brought me to this point,&#8217; she explained.
In her interview, Oprah also spoke about The Color Purple — a film she starred in in the 1985 adaptation of Alice Walker&#8217;s novel but is now producing.
She said she loved the book so much and had prayed to be in the movie despite knowing its unlikelihood as she &#8216;knew no one in Hollywood&#8217;.
She explained that it was a &#8216;miracle&#8217; that she received a call from film producer Reuben Cannon explaining record producer Quincy Jones said she needed to be in the movie.
