More quotes by 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
My mother's great. She has the major looks. She could stop you from doing anything, through a closed door even, with a single look. Without saying a word, she has that power to rip out your tonsils.

Chocolate and candy. That's what we brought in to our friends. We worked in East Berlin with other artists who were smuggled out to come work in the Western Bloc. It was extraordinary because people in East Berlin just wanted to know what was happening. Music. Fashion. The news. All of the things we get every day.

Normal is just a cycle on the washing machine.
Whoopi Goldberg
All I really want to do is just keep acting, and some of it will stink, and some of it will be really good, and maybe when I'm 85 and presenting an Oscar like Bette Davis did, I can look back and say, 'It was okay, I did all right.'
Whoopi Goldberg
It's being willing to walk away that gives you strength and power - if you're willing to accept the consequences of doing what you want to do.

I think the idea that you know who your inner self is on a daily basis, because... you know. What's good for you 25 years ago may not be good for you now. So, to keep in touch with that, I think that's the first ingredient for success. Because if you're a successful human being, everything else is gravy, I think.

In order to sell in all the different places where medical marijuana is legal, you have to build a facility and grow in the state you're selling in, so it's daunting.
Whoopi Goldberg
Taliban-esque: Any behavior that imposes the beliefs of one person on everyone else. Conversations with the Taliban-esque are impossible. They aren't even conversations. With them, it's my way or no way.
Whoopi Goldberg
I used my imagination to make the grass whatever color I wanted it to be.
Whoopi Goldberg
The Africans know I'm not an African. I'm an American.
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
Just call me black, if you want to call me anything.
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.

If every American donated five hours a week, it would equal the labor of twenty million full-time volunteers.
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!

I dig being a mother.
Whoopi Goldberg
I believe that parts of people like John Garfield and Moms Mabley, the parts of them that I needed to be able to do what I'm doing, came into me. There's a very nice feeling that there are many, many spirits inside of me looking after me . . .
