I think I speak for America when I say, nothing says NASCAR like Whoopi Goldberg.
Lionel Richie told me forget about the critics. But if you come back with hit after hit, you don't have to worry about anything.
I watch my contemporaries, and they love to live in the studio and I don't. I have a life. I treat it as a 9-to-5. I try to create something new every day, and then I get on with my life.

Trust is a great force multiplier.
