Oprah and Ina Garten Share the Secrets to a Successful Life

You know, I think I never really made a decision to write it. I just decided I would start. And I was working with a friend of mine whose name is Deborah Davis, and she's an amazing researcher. And she would interview me and record what I was telling her, the stories I was telling her. But she took me back to places I'd been and asked me about it. And I recalled things I didn't remember.

I think she knew it was going to be more interesting than I thought.
