Whoopi Goldberg
I believe strongly that most people in this country U.S. don't want a totalitarian state...And when conservatives say, Get the government out of my backyard, the reality is, you can't say that and put somebody in the White House who's gonna be in your business.
Whoopi Goldberg
I'm a big old egotistical baby and that's okay. I can accept it.
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
Things happen to you out of luck, and if you get to stick around it's because you're talented.
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
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.
