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
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
I have the strangest time to get cast in anything. 'Ghost' was the same thing. Six months I had to wait for them to decide they had seen everybody possible. Why not? What limits me? I'm black? Oh, am I black?

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
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
The art of acting is to be other than what you are.
Whoopi Goldberg
It never occurs to me that there are things I can't do.
Whoopi Goldberg
I say if you're worried, vote smart. Vote smart.
Whoopi Goldberg

Her least favorite thing: VOLUNTARY IGNORANCE
Whoopi Goldberg
I don't have pet peeves like some people. I have whole kennels of irritation.
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 not sure how you feel about same-sex marriage, go and meet some of the families and see what they're looking for. Once you take it out of the caricature of what gay people are and what gay marriage is, and put it in the reality of family and what these folks are fighting for, it's really amazing.
