Despite being sick with the flu, Oprah Winfrey walked the red carpet at the Ziegfeld premiere of her film "Selma" on Sunday.
The media mogul has a supporting role in the historical drama about Martin Luther King Jr., and financed the project with Brad Pitt.
"I was so enthralled by Dr. King. I wanted to be Dr. King," Winfrey, 60, told us. "I wanted to grow up and have my own church, run my own congregation and be my own order and lead the people. I didn't exactly do that, but my television show was a way of doing that."
She added, "He was an enormous influence on me. Mrs. King was a personal friend of mine until she died. I have a great respect for the legacy of what he left for all of us."
While there certainly is a cult surrounding Oprah, she exclaimed, "Oh, please! My thoughts are, 'Oh, please,'" when we asked if she'd achieved her goal of any comparison to King.
"In every generation there comes along a person like Dr. King who has the ability to garner the hearts and the spirits of a nation . . . to help people to see in themselves what they could not possibly believe could be true. In my life, I do work to help people from all different backgrounds and I joined this project to help [director] Ava DuVernay and [star] David Oyelowo. I wanted to see them succeed."
Winfrey and best pal Gayle King skipped a lavish after-party at the New York Public Library, where guests included Aretha Franklin and Common.
