Katie Joel talks about 'A New Earth'

When Katie Joel made her first appearance on The Oprah Show, she says she had A New Earth to thank for a great interview. Instead of focusing on the nervousness she was feeling, Katie says she turned her attention to the audience.

"I looked out at them, and I saw their faces, and they looked like my mom or my aunt or my friends, and I thought, 'Today's really about them. It's about them having a good time and enjoying being here on this show,'" she says. "So I took a deep breath, and I was able to leave my nerves behind and I made peace with the present moment. I sat down on that couch, and I had the best time and I enjoyed every moment of it."
