Christ says she sent the letter to Oprah because she likes her but had no idea it would get so much attention.

"Most of them think I'm plain crazy and ignore me," she said.

Television anchor Gayle King posted about the letter to Oprah on her Instagram account on Wednesday, asking if it was the sign her best friend was looking for.

Christ says if Oprah runs for president, she'll vote for her.

"God and the Bible. I try to live every moment of my life under God's will," Christ said to WGME-TV.
