Whoopi Goldberg
I don't have pet peeves like some people. I have whole kennels of irritation.

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.

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
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.
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'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.
