I. Frost's Selected Quotations
Everything at Amazon by and about: Whoopi GoldbergNormal is in the eye of the beholder.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 Christmas in my house is a madhouse, but I love the holidays. We do Hanukkah, Christmas, Kwanzaa, we do everything. So there are menorahs and giant Christmas trees and Santa Clauses and elves and all kinds of craziness Somehow we are supposed to be credits to our race. The mere fact that I'm still around makes me a credit to my race, which is the human race An actress can only play a woman. I'm an actor, I can play anything. You may notice that I always come from the left side of the theatre. That's because of the vast right wing conspiracy Where do we fit in, in this new world? Because the world changed on Sept. 11. ... I could not find anything humorous in me You can say whatever you want about me but talk about my daughter and I'll beat your ass up. 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 Michael Jackson and a Saudi prince have formed a company they say will promote traditional family values. Nothing says family values more to me than a middle-aged man in full make-up grabbing himself and walking backwards So much mud has been thrown around this year, all the nominees look black My mother told me when I was pretty young that you can be who you are or try hard to be something else. I was always a lazy bitch, so trying hard to be something else wasn't going to happen Nobody wants to see that view, so you can shoot me in any direction - as long as my butt isn't in it! Maybe it gives people a little hope . . . You look at me and you say, 'Yeah, this is not the face of a pinup' We're here for a reason. I believe a bit of the reason is to throw little torches out to lead people through the dark We're not great communicators as human beings. If you have some air in your stomach, wouldn't you feel more comfortable if you let it out? Imagine how great the world would be if we communicated these things I told her I would play a Venetian blind, dirt on the floor, anything. I want Carl Sagan to explain the sky to me. I'm Black. I don't have to prove it. I've been Black all my life I realize the larger I get physically, the harder it is for producers to say, 'Come be in my movie, you sexy chick' Well 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... I've learned to take time for myself and to treat myself with a great deal of love and respect 'cause, I like me. I really do. I think I'm kind of cool Normal is nothing more than a cycle on a washing machine I am an artist, art has no color and no sex I don't look like Halle Berry. But chances are, she's going to end up looking like me If you are famous you have to think in a different way. You have to decide whether or not it's worth it to you to possibly lose [a sex tape]. You have to think about everything that can go wrong I am where I am because I believe in all possibilities I don't have pet peeves, I have whole kennels of irritation I don't like driving very much. That makes me very unhappy, because I scream a lot in the car, but other than that, life is actually pretty good Security is tighter tonight than some of the faces You know what, the more money you have, the more trouble you get I didn't know my career was so far down the toilet until I saw the reviews for Ghost I don't really view communism as a bad thing. I'm a big old egostistical baby and that's okay. I can accept it I believe that racism is something that we're always going to live with. What we in America have to decide is whether we're going to be covert racists or overt racists. The O.J. trial and the church burnings in the South have uncovered a festering problem that no one wants to talk about 4
