“The Solution of My Life Occurred to Me ….”
“I can do anything. I can be anything. No one ever told me I couldn’t. No one ever expressed this idea that I was limited to any one thing, and so I think in terms of what’s possible, not impossible.
They did sell me on the notion of reality. That I got. I got the laws of physics and nature pretty much down and knew early on there were very specific things I couldn’t do. I knew I could never make anyone float, or turn water into wine, or make cats speak French. I knew I couldn’t bring people back from the dead. I got that part of it. But I also knew that if I was with someone who had lost somebody I might be able to make them feel better. I couldn’t keep someone’s house from burning down, but I could help them sort through the rubble and get their shit together and start in on another one. So realized I wasn’t God, which was a slight disappointment, you know. Just a slight disappointment – and a mild surprise.” (Whoopi Goldberg)
