More quotes by Whoopi Goldberg
If you get a little gassy, you've got to let it go. So people used to say to me, 'You're like a whoopee cushion.'
Whoopi Goldberg
What we're doing is not just about becoming a model. It's bigger than that. It's shining a spotlight on folks who know who they are. They know what they want to do. And in terms of modeling, they're already working. They know what they're doing! They're fantastic!
Whoopi Goldberg
I don't like driving very much. That makes me very unhappy, because I scream a lot in the car, but other than that, life is actually pretty good.
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.

If you're not sure how you feel about same-sex marriage, go and meet some of the families and see what they're looking for.

Whoopi Goldberg

Whoopi Goldberg
If You don't like Gay Marriage, Don't Marry a Gay Person.
Whoopi Goldberg

Whoopi Goldberg
In the dark times, if you have something to hold on to, which is yourself, you'll survive.
Whoopi Goldberg
If there wasn't something called acting, they would probably hospitalize people like me.
Whoopi Goldberg
If I was doing a talk show, I would do the kind of show that comes on just once a month, with amazing guests.
Whoopi Goldberg
I say if you're worried, vote smart. Vote smart.
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 couldn't always trust the history books. They told a diluted truth, a truth by committee.
Whoopi Goldberg
Thank you, God, because I am lucky. Also let's face it, it turns out I'm black. And I'm having a career quite different from lots of people, so I feel doubly lucky.
Whoopi Goldberg
You have to believe in yourself in spite of what other people believe.
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
I don't have pet peeves like some people. I have whole kennels of irritation.
Whoopi Goldberg
I don't think in terms of failure....I don't feel like anyone outside of me should be setting limitations. People should be encouraged to shoot for the moon.
Whoopi Goldberg
When I was doing ensemble theater and comedy work, I felt I had some talents. But when I started doing my shows in Berkeley and found that I could be funny on my own, I was shocked.
