Oprah Winfrey wants to make one thing clear: She is not retired. Ever since her eponymous talk show ended in 2011, she?s found what she calls ?real freedom.? ?I love the way my life has opened up,? she tells Variety, in her sun-drenched, spacious office at OWN, her self-named cable network, in West Hollywood. That?s what the 61-year-old media mogul thrives on now: getting to choose how she wants to spend the hours that lay in front of her. The same can be said for her approach to the business of entertainment: Deciding what projects she wants to make, in front of or behind the camera, whether for Harpo Films or for OWN.
