Talk:Whoopi Goldberg

Unsourced

I am very attractive and get cuter the older I get. I'm even getting -- well, not statuesque, but I'm growing. I'm expanding. That's the best way to put it.

I'm an artist; art has no color and no sex.

If there wasn't something called acting they would probably hospitalize people like me. The giddiness and the joy of life is the moving and grooving, the exploration.

The greatest thing I ever was able to do was to give a welfare check back.

When you are kind to someone in trouble, you hope they'll remember and be kind to someone else. And it'll become like a wildfire.

She is a cow. I am a cow. I felt the connection, cow to cow.

The View

Welcome to the View child

We'll be back with even more HoT ToPiCs (while waving her hands)

I've learned to take time for myself and to treat myself with a great deal of love and a great deal of respect 'cause I like me. I think I'm kind of cool.

Whoopi: David, where exactly would you like to take me?

Contestant: I'm a married man.

Whoopi: Oh, sorry. Well, you suggested it! [laughter] I would not have stepped forward had you not said you'd like to take me but I understand it was a different sort of take! I just hurt my feelings! See if I'll give you an answer! [laughter] I'm sorry; I'm just that way today.

"Most of all, I dislike this idea nowadays that if you're a black person in America, then you must be called African-American."

Isn't "African American" a more common form? For example, see English Wikipedia [1] --Wario-Man (talk) 03:26, 25 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
