More quotes by Whoopi Goldberg
The art of acting is to be other than what you are.
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
In order to sell in all the different places where medical marijuana is legal, you have to build a facility and grow in the state you're selling in, so it's daunting.
Whoopi Goldberg
If you're willing to stand for what you believe in ... you won't need advice from me, because you will be able to handle whatever comes.
Whoopi Goldberg
You have to believe in yourself in spite of what other people believe.
Whoopi Goldberg
Actors have no color. That's the art form.
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
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
I'd like everyone to imagine a world where you get a job as Tom, and then the next day you're Tina. Imagine you're in the world where you love what you do, but people say that you can't be who you are.
Whoopi Goldberg
Taking action is hard, but know what? Enduring a bad situation can be its own hell.
Whoopi Goldberg
I say if you're worried, vote smart. Vote smart.
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.
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
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
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
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
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
If every American donated five hours a week, it would equal the labor of twenty million full-time volunteers.
Whoopi Goldberg
Her least favorite thing: VOLUNTARY IGNORANCE
Whoopi Goldberg
What I am is a humanist before anything - before I'm a Jew, before I'm black, before I'm a woman. And my beliefs are for the human race - they don't exclude anyone.
Whoopi Goldberg
