Whoopi Goldberg
In the dark times, if you have something to hold on to, which is yourself, you'll survive.
Whoopi Goldberg
The people who can be helping to make movies that have blacks and Latinos and women and all that - that movie doesn't come to you. Because the idea is that there's no place for black movies.
Whoopi Goldberg
The art of acting is to be other than what you are.
Whoopi Goldberg
An actress can only play a woman. I'm an actor, I can play anything.
Whoopi Goldberg
Sometimes experience trumps assumption.
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
I used my imagination to make the grass whatever color I wanted it to be.
Whoopi Goldberg
If you don't look out for others, who will look out for you?
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.
