Whoopi Goldberg
For some reason, all artists have self-esteem issues.

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
You have to believe in yourself in spite of what other people believe.
Whoopi Goldberg
Taking action is hard, but know what? Enduring a bad situation can be its own hell.
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

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
If there wasn't something called acting, they would probably hospitalize people like me.
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
If You don't like Gay Marriage, Don't Marry a Gay Person.
Whoopi Goldberg
I'm fighting the label of 'Black' actress simply because it's very limiting in people's eyes, especially people who are making movies.
Whoopi Goldberg
Did you know that we are the only people in the United States who have to have their voting rights okayed every couple of years?
Whoopi Goldberg
When you are kind to someone in trouble, you hope they'll remember and be kind to someone else. And it'll become like a wildfire.
Whoopi Goldberg
If you can handle the fact that people are going to be mad at you when you do what you think is right, you'll be alright.
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.
