It's amazing, actually, considering how much she does in her life (she claims to sleep only 4 1/2 hours a night)....most of us would be raving lunatics if we had to maintain her kind of schedule.
We're treated very well at the show. I'm just on the lighting/scenery crew, and I make a very good wage doing so. The tradeoff is a ton of hours at work, which means you don't see the wife and kids as often as you'd like.

That's pretty cool
I was watching that After the Show thing on Oxygen last night, and she was saying how the staff had no sleep the night before since they were prepping. She seems like a workaholic. She's obviously very driven to have gotten where she is from what her childhood was like.
One thing that does annoy me though... Her need to repeat everything 14 times. It gets to be a bit much. But that's part of what makes Oprah Oprah I guess.
