THE View host Whoopi Goldberg has gotten candid about how she feels about marriage.
While appearing on a talk show, the actress opened up about a lot of topics in her new book, Bits and Pieces.
On Friday, May 10, Whoopi, 68, sat down with journalist Don Lemon on the Dom Lemon Show.
She talked about her memoir, her weed shop, experiencing grief, and if she would ever marry again.
"Do you ever get lonely?" Don, 58, asked.
Whoopi took a breath and said, "I don't think so."

"You know why I'm asking that?... Because I just got married," Don replied.
"And remember before when you wrote the book about how marriage was not for you, I interviewed you then and we talked about it just personally."
"And I said, 'I don't think marriage is for me'," he finished.
Whoopi said that she thought Don had no idea what it entailed.

Don then asked Whoopi if it was true that she doesn't like people living in her house.
"I don't mind people living in my house. The truth of the matter is I am fundamentally a selfish person," Whoopi said.
The View host went on to say that because she has a daughter, son-in-law, three grandchildren, and a great-grandchild that she doesn't have a lot of time for other people coming into her life.
"Hit and runs are great. I don't mind those, but you can't spend the night," Whoopi admitted.
Don laughed and asked her if hit and runs still happen, to which Whoopi replied, "Oh yeah!"
Whoopi has been married three times.

'I MUST BE DOING IT WRONG'

For example, Whoopi said some people might think they are a terrible person or a whore.
However, the actress said that she never really thought about it.
"I just figured I must be doing it wrong because other people have seemed to have figured it out," Whoopi said.
