More quotes by Whoopi Goldberg
It's being willing to walk away that gives you strength and power - if you're willing to accept the consequences of doing what you want to do.
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 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
Normal is in the eye of the beholder.
Whoopi Goldberg
When I forget how talented God is, I look to the sea.
Whoopi Goldberg
I am where I am because I believe in all possibilities.
Whoopi Goldberg
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.
Whoopi Goldberg
I don't have pet peeves like some people. I have whole kennels of irritation.
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 eat eight bags of chips in one sitting, and then nothing for a day or two. I learned that my body thought it was starving, so it would hold on to fat.
Whoopi Goldberg
I'm as American as Chevrolet.
Whoopi Goldberg
You know what? I think the American people are a little pissed, and I think they're pissed at both parties - I think they're really pissed at both parties - and it will be reflected during election time.
Whoopi Goldberg
Art and life are subjective. Not everybody's gonna dig what I dig, but I reserve the right to dig it.
Whoopi Goldberg
Everything for me is visual. That's just how my head works.
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
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
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
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
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
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.
