I do think that that''s true but I think anybody you''ll talk to will say they do have a best friend. Although as I move around in the world I''m finding more and more people who will say, I don''t have what you and Oprah have. But I will meet people all over the country who say, ''This is my Gayle, this is my Oprah, we''re just like you guys. I understand what this is.'' I think because Oprah''s been so vocal about me as her best friend and really she''s been, since she started in the talk show world...I remember when she was in Chicago and it was just a local show and I came to town. People came to town and said, ''oh, is this Gayle?'' because it''s just a natural part of female conversation. I was talking to my best friend and she said blah blah blah. The thing is Oprah makes everything so relatable. She does. So, and she tends to give more detail than most people do. Some people might just say my friend so-and-so, Oprah says ''Oh, my best friend Gayle'' and that just became a moniker.\"\u003cbr/\u003eAP Television \u003cbr/\u003eToronto, Canada, 13 September 2009\u003cbr/\u003e5.
