In an interview in the August issue of British Vogue, Oprah said: "People talk about 'these are such dark times,' but what if we shift the paradigm?"

Oprah said she sees things differently. "I see, 'Isn't this remarkable that we're waking up?'" she told Vogue.

"For years, women have endured craziness. This is what's happening to people. You've got to lean to the happiness."

Naturally, the conversation touched on whether or not she'd ever run for president. For those praying for Oprah 2020, though, we have some bad news for you.

"In that political structure — all the non-truths, the bullshit, the crap, the nastiness, the backhanded backroom stuff that goes on — I feel like I could not exist," Oprah said. "I would not be able to do it. It's not a clean business. It would kill me."

Oprah also shared her thoughts on the royal wedding. "It left me feeling that anything is possible through the power of love," she said. "Reverend Curry was right!"

The full feature is in the August issue of British Vogue, which hits newsstands on 6 July.

Still no word on whether she and Meghan are BFFs now.
