More quotes by Whoopi Goldberg
I won once [an Oscar]. So it can't be that racist.
Whoopi Goldberg
I had such a good time doing that movie [Sister Act 2]. My daughter's in that movie. It was a fun film to do. And it shocked a lot of people, because they loved it, and they take it with them.
Whoopi Goldberg
We're here for a reason. I believe a bit of the reason is to throw little torches out to lead people through the dark.
Whoopi Goldberg
[On writing to Alice Walker, author of The Color Purple:] I told her I would play a Venetian blind, dirt on the floor, anything.
Whoopi Goldberg
I think because I've gotten permission from my style icons like Tim Gunn and André Leon Talley, who say to me, You don't need to dress like anyone else, because you're your own fashion icon. You represent comfortable. And you do fashion your way, and you should be at Fashion Week. They gave me permission to enjoy it! And it's great!
Whoopi Goldberg
You know, be an actor because you love to act. Don't be an actor because you think you're going to get famous, because that's luck.
Whoopi Goldberg
No matter what you say to yourself, you do want to win. You try to look casual, like you're not thinking, 'oh, please pick me.'
Whoopi Goldberg
There are roles I am never considered for. Meryl Streep roles, let's say. Why not? I really wanted to do 'Ironweed,' for example, because the depression era in this country was one of the best for multiracial people, because everybody was poor. Everybody lived in the tents, and under buildings, and under gratings, together.
Whoopi Goldberg
I have the strangest time to get cast in anything. 'Ghost' was the same thing. Six months I had to wait for them to decide they had seen everybody possible. Why not? What limits me? I'm black? Oh, am I black?
Whoopi Goldberg
Should I be worried about being a slave and being returned to slavery? Because certain things happened in the Constitution that had to change.
Whoopi Goldberg
Most of all, I dislike this idea nowadays that if you're a black person in America, then you must be called African-American. Listen, I've visited Africa, and I've got news for everyone: I'm not an African.
Whoopi Goldberg
My family is Jewish, Buddhist, Baptist and Catholic. I don't believe in man-made religions.
Whoopi Goldberg
When I forget how talented God is, I look to the sea.
Whoopi Goldberg
Sometimes experience trumps assumption.
Whoopi Goldberg
Normal is in the eye of the beholder.
Whoopi Goldberg
If you're not sure how you feel about same-sex marriage, go and meet some of the families and see what they're looking for. Once you take it out of the caricature of what gay people are and what gay marriage is, and put it in the reality of family and what these folks are fighting for, it's really amazing.
Whoopi Goldberg
[The original Sister Act] is running all over the world now, on-stage as a musical. It lives!
Whoopi Goldberg
The only argument you can make against having Confederate flag as spectacularly shown as it is around the south is the Nazis. I mean, it would be like having the swastika flag...
Whoopi Goldberg
I have witnessed things the ancients would have called miracles, but they are not miracles. They are the products of someone's dream, and they happen as the result of hard work.
Whoopi Goldberg
I don't think in terms of failure....I don't feel like anyone outside of me should be setting limitations. People should be encouraged to shoot for the moon.
Whoopi Goldberg
