You talked there about getting married and having a child.
You did that very young.
Yeah, 18.
Not very young.
Not very young.
I thought it was, I'd read it was younger than that.
So you were a grandmother in your 30s, yeah?
How did that sit, I mean, with your sense of self?
Let's take a break for another piece of music.
Judy Collins and Who Knows Where the Time Goes.
Whoopi Goldberg, I know what we get from you performing.
You know, we love to watch you.
We love to have you make us laugh and to entertain us and engage us.
What do you get from performing?
There's huge expectation, of course, on a star when they walk into a room, any room, whether it's a restaurant where you've got to be nice to the waiter because the waiter's meeting Whoopi Goldberg that day.
That's what he's going to go home and tell his wife.
And then you become that Whoopi Goldberg who gave me a bad tip or who was rude to me.
When did you start performing?
Really?
