Media mogul Oprah Winfrey says she has no regrets of quitting her popular talk show.
Winfrey's self-titled programme - which was the highest-rated show of its kind - would have celebrated 30 years on screen this September, but she walked away in 2011 to establish her OWN TV network and has no regrets about her decision as she always wanted to go out on a high, reported Femalefirst.
"I never wanted to be the person for whom people were saying, 'Oh that show was so good two years ago.' I never wanted to be the person who(was told), 'You should've gotten out of the ring before you got punched stronger'.
"I never wanted to be the person who didn't know when to exit the party," Winfrey, 62, said.
She feels she exited at the right time.
"It was the most glorious, most amazing platform anybody can have to speak to millions of people every day and I think I exited in the exact right moment.
