"I would love to make that happen, let me tell you. But maybe not every day," Winfrey said. "For 25 years, it was perfect."

Winfrey's show, which launched in 1986, covered a variety of topics and offered inspirational stories and conversations with everyday people and exclusive celebrity interviews.

"The only time I missed [the show] was during the election or when something really big happens in the news," Winfrey explained. "I think, 'Oh gee, I wish I had a show.' "

While promoting her new book, "The Path Made Clear: Discovering Your Life's Direction and Purpose," Winfrey shared that when she first realized her calling in television, she still made sure to have a backup plan.

"My path became clear the moment, I remember it actually, when I flew into Chicago," she said. "I thought, 'If the show isn't successful, then I'm going to go into advertising.'"

Sales from Oprah's book "The Path Made Clear: Discovering Your Life's Direction and Purpose" will go to the Boys and Girls Club of Attala County, Mississippi, where Winfrey grew up.
