I’m trying to build a strong business. I want to create new stars, new shows and new products for my audience and create a legacy that outlives me. There are so many other ways I want to reach women besides doing a talk show.

Banks frames her career less as a single-media celebrity project and more as an entrepreneurial, institution-building effort. The emphasis on “new stars” and “new shows” suggests a producer’s mindset: using her platform to develop talent and intellectual property rather than merely performing. Her desire to “reach women” beyond a talk show points to a broader mission of women-focused influence—through products, formats, and ventures that can scale and persist. The idea of a “legacy that outlives me” underscores long-term brand architecture: building systems, franchises, and cultural impact that remain after the founder’s visibility fades.
