My mother's great. She has the major looks. She could stop you from doing anything, through a closed door even, with a single look. Without saying a word, she has that power to rip out your tonsils.

More quotes by Whoopi Goldberg
All I really want to do is just keep acting, and some of it will stink, and some of it will be really good, and maybe when I'm 85 and presenting an Oscar like Bette Davis did, I can look back and say, 'It was okay, I did all right.'
Whoopi Goldberg
Things happen to you out of luck, and if you get to stick around it's because you're talented.
Whoopi Goldberg
When I was 9 years old, Star Trek came on.
Whoopi Goldberg
If there wasn't something called acting, they would probably hospitalize people like me.
Whoopi Goldberg
I believe strongly that most people in this country U.S. don't want a totalitarian state...And when conservatives say, Get the government out of my backyard, the reality is, you can't say that and put somebody in the White House who's gonna be in your business.
Whoopi Goldberg
You couldn't always trust the history books. They told a diluted truth, a truth by committee.
Whoopi Goldberg
Did you know children are dying because of AIDS. Missing the medicines that prevent transmission from mother to child. Missing the protection from parents teachers and role models that can teach them about the danger, and keep them safe from sexual exploitation. Children are missing your support. Unite for children. Unite against AIDS.
Whoopi Goldberg
Well, one of the things we felt was missing from the greater conversation is that transgender people have been living and working in America for years...People may think it's a new thing it's not...So we wanted to show not just the political side, which is what you see with Caitlyn Jenner. And not the other side with Laverne Cox, who's great.
Whoopi Goldberg
Who amongst us doesn't want to be a hero?
Whoopi Goldberg
We're born with success. It is only others who point out our failures, and what they attribute to us as failure.
Whoopi Goldberg
Normal is just a cycle on the washing machine.
Whoopi Goldberg
I fear waking up one morning and finding out my life was all for nothing. 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. When you're kind to someone in trouble, you hope they remember and are kind to someone else and so on. Soon it will be like a wildfire.
Whoopi Goldberg
Taking action is hard, but know what? Enduring a bad situation can be its own hell.
Whoopi Goldberg
[The original Sister Act] is running all over the world now, on-stage as a musical. It lives!
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!

The Africans know I'm not an African. I'm an American.
Whoopi Goldberg
I don't really view communism as a bad thing.
Whoopi Goldberg
I believe that parts of people like John Garfield and Moms Mabley, the parts of them that I needed to be able to do what I'm doing, came into me. There's a very nice feeling that there are many, many spirits inside of me looking after me . . .
Whoopi Goldberg
It bums me out tremendously what the church has become, and if it's got me bummed, imagine what Jesus Christ must be feeling.
Whoopi Goldberg
Taliban-esque: Any behavior that imposes the beliefs of one person on everyone else. Conversations with the Taliban-esque are impossible. They aren't even conversations. With them, it's my way or no way.
