Whoopi Goldberg
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. And not the other side with Laverne Cox, who's great.
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.'
