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?

More quotes by Whoopi Goldberg
I won once [an Oscar]. So it can't be that racist.

When I was nine years old, Star Trek came on, I looked at it and I went screaming through the house, 'Come here, mum, everybody, come quick, come quick, there's a black lady on television and she ain't no maid!' I knew right then and there I could be anything I wanted to be.
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
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'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
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'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
It you want to be somebody, If you want to go some where, you've got to wake up and pay attention
Whoopi Goldberg
I don't really view communism as a bad thing.
Whoopi Goldberg
The Africans know I'm not an African. I'm an American.
