Whoopi Goldberg reflects on family, career in new memoir “Bits and Pieces”

After a more than four-decade career, Whoopi Goldberg is sharing her story on her own terms. The EGOT winner joined “CBS Mornings” to discuss her new memoir, “Bits and Pieces,” which delves into her career, life, and relationships with her late mother, Emma Johnson, and late brother, Clyde Johnson.

Goldberg credits her family for her success. She recalled her mother’s advice that is mentioned in her memoir: Cry about what you don’t have or figure it out and then go do it.

“It’s kind of how I live my life, you know,” Goldberg said of her mother’s advice. “If something’s not going right or I’ve stepped in something, I’m not gonna cry about it. I just gotta be like, ‘Yeah, I did,’ and move on, because all that wasted time of ‘Oh, no,’ it’s like a tic-tok, baby. You don’t have much time left.”
