Art and life are subjective. Not everybody's gonna dig what I dig, but I reserve the right to dig it.
Whoopi Goldberg
I say if you're worried, vote smart. Vote smart.
Whoopi Goldberg
When I was nine years old, Star Trek came on, I looked at it and I went screaming through the house, 'Come here, mum, everybody, come quick, come quick, there's a black lady on television and she ain't no maid!' I knew right then and there I could be anything I wanted to be.
Whoopi Goldberg
Normal is just a cycle on the washing machine.
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
I don't believe that there is any good career move or bad career move. I believe there are only the things that make me happy.
Whoopi Goldberg
There are times when I haven't been proud of America or really proud. But there have been times that I've been incredibly proud of the country.
Whoopi Goldberg
I'd like somebody to get rid of the death tax. That's what I want. I don't want to get taxed just because I died. I just don't think it's right. If I give something to my kid, I already paid the tax. Why should I have to pay it again because I died?
Whoopi Goldberg
Sometimes experience trumps assumption.
Whoopi Goldberg
In the dark times, if you have something to hold on to, which is yourself, you'll survive.
Whoopi Goldberg
I am an artist, art has no color and no sex.
Whoopi Goldberg
If I was doing a talk show, I would do the kind of show that comes on just once a month, with amazing guests.
Whoopi Goldberg
Chocolate and candy. That's what we brought in to our friends. We worked in East Berlin with other artists who were smuggled out to come work in the Western Bloc. It was extraordinary because people in East Berlin just wanted to know what was happening. Music. Fashion. The news. All of the things we get every day.
Whoopi Goldberg
Thank you, God, because I am lucky. Also let's face it, it turns out I'm black. And I'm having a career quite different from lots of people, so I feel doubly lucky.
Whoopi Goldberg
[On her monologue as the thief 'Fontaine':] People always got things. People always want things. So I provide a service.
Whoopi Goldberg
I think the idea that you know who your inner self is on a daily basis, because... you know. What's good for you 25 years ago may not be good for you now. So, to keep in touch with that, I think that's the first ingredient for success. Because if you're a successful human being, everything else is gravy, I think.
Whoopi Goldberg
Sitting at the table during Color Purple and looking up and suddenly realizing I was acting in front of Steven Spielberg, was pretty cool. It was pretty good.
Whoopi Goldberg
Who amongst us doesn't want to be a hero?
Whoopi Goldberg
I don't like driving very much. That makes me very unhappy, because I scream a lot in the car, but other than that, life is actually pretty good.
Whoopi Goldberg
[The original Sister Act] is running all over the world now, on-stage as a musical. It lives!
