More quotes by Whoopi Goldberg
I grew up in a time when it would never have occurred to anyone to tell me there was anything I couldn't do.
Whoopi Goldberg
If you read to me I could tell you everything that was read. They didn't know what it was. They knew I wasn't lazy, but what was it?
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
Really, darling, it's a no-brainer. You know, I understand not everybody is for gay marriage. But if you're not for gay marriage, don't marry a gay person. That's what I say
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
Just call me black, if you want to call me anything.
Whoopi Goldberg
I think because I've gotten permission from my style icons like Tim Gunn and André Leon Talley, who say to me, You don't need to dress like anyone else, because you're your own fashion icon. You represent comfortable. And you do fashion your way, and you should be at Fashion Week. They gave me permission to enjoy it! And it's great!
Whoopi Goldberg
Did you know children are dying because of AIDS. Missing the medicines that prevent transmission from mother to child. Missing the protection from parents teachers and role models that can teach them about the danger, and keep them safe from sexual exploitation. Children are missing your support. Unite for children. Unite against AIDS.
Whoopi Goldberg
The people who can be helping to make movies that have blacks and Latinos and women and all that - that movie doesn't come to you. Because the idea is that there's no place for black movies.
Whoopi Goldberg
We're dealing with old issues that aren't ours. We carry them and we pass them on to those who come after us. I am hoping to crack some of those.
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 don't look like Halle Berry. But chances are, she's going to end up looking like me.
Whoopi Goldberg
There are roles I am never considered for. Meryl Streep roles, let's say. Why not? I really wanted to do 'Ironweed,' for example, because the depression era in this country was one of the best for multiracial people, because everybody was poor. Everybody lived in the tents, and under buildings, and under gratings, together.
Whoopi Goldberg
Children are a quality of life ... when our children are happy, then we are better as human beings.
Whoopi Goldberg
We have a lot of trans friends. We know lots of people who have been trying to [model] we know a lot about it.
Whoopi Goldberg
No matter what you say to yourself, you do want to win. You try to look casual, like you're not thinking, 'oh, please pick me.'
Whoopi Goldberg
The Africans know I'm not an African. I'm an American.
Whoopi Goldberg
I'd like everyone to imagine a world where you get a job as Tom, and then the next day you're Tina. Imagine you're in the world where you love what you do, but people say that you can't be who you are.
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 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
