Whoopi Goldberg is not about the married life. 

In a recent interview with The New York Times magazine , “The View” host discussed love, relationships and why marriage just isn’t for her. Although Goldberg’s been married three times, she’s simply “not that interested” in doing it again. 

“I’m much happier on my own. I can spend as much time with somebody as I want to spend, but I’m not looking to be with somebody forever or live with someone,” Goldberg said. “I don’t want somebody in my house.”

When the interviewer asked Goldberg if she’s always felt like this, the 60-year-old actress replied: “Yes. I’m the round peg, and marriage is the square hole. You can’t have a square hole, can you?” 

Whoopi: A woman who knows what she wants. And what she wants is a home all to her damn self.

Before You Go

Celebrities Who Have Never Married
Oprah Winfrey(01 of12)
Open Image Modal
Oprah Winfrey is our favorite talk-show-host/entrepreneur/producer/actress/billionaire/queen-of-the-world who has never felt the need to marry the current love of her life -- partner of 27 years -- Stedman Graham. Interestingly, Winfrey, more than once, felt the need, however, to attach herself to the man she loved -- at one time feeling "depleted and powerless " when one love rejected her. Fate sometimes rolls the dice in your favor. Role model No. 1 to every woman alive, Winfrey has been called "the most powerful woman in America." No marriage license needed to improve her self-esteem! (credit:Getty Images)
Al Pacino(02 of12)

Al Pacino has somehow remained a bachelor for 72 years so we're guessing he's never going to walk down an aisle that has a bride standing at the opposite end. He has fathered three children with two baby mamas -- a daughter in 1989 with acting coach Jan Tarrant, and twins born in 2001 with actress Beverly D'Angelo. His perfect match might have been his co-star Diane Keaton in the Godfather Trilogy -- whom he dated on and off, but, sadly, that relationship never turned into an "I do" moment.

Bill Maher(03 of12)

Bill Maher may be famous for his political satire and pop culture conversations ("Politically Incorrect") and chatting up American politics and current events (HBOs "Real Time with Bill Maher"), but he's adamant about one thing, so take notes: "Maher enjoys his bachelor status and states that he does not want to get married." Got that?... Just so we're clear. (credit:Getty Images)
Sheryl Crow(04 of12)

Even though singer-songwriter ("All I Wanna Do") Sheryl Crow has had a couple of high-profile relationships -- Owen Wilson and Lance Armstrong -- she has elected to remain unmarried and become a single mom, adopting two sons in 2007 and 2010. Good for her! Children are forever, but a good marriage can have its share of ups and downs. (credit:Shutterstock)
Diane Keaton(05 of12)

Actress Diane Keaton was courted by Woody Allen, Warren Beatty and Al Pacino but those romances eventually ended amicably. "In July 2001, Keaton publicly announced that she had given up pursuing romance, and stated, 'I don't think that because I'm not married it's made my life any less. That old maid myth is garbage.' Keaton has two adopted children, daughter Dexter (adopted 1996) and son Duke (2001)." The "Annie Hall" actress "decided to become a mother at the age of 50 after the death of her father, when she began to realize her own mortality. She later said of having children, 'Motherhood has completely changed me. It's just about the most completely humbling experience that I've ever had.'" (credit:Getty Images)
Condoleezza Rice(06 of12)

Condoleezza Rice, who served as the 66th U.S. Secretary of State , has a full life regardless of her marital status. We're thinking she hasn't missed out much in life as she started early in life to pave her way in this competitive world we live. At the tender age of three, Rice began to "learn French, music, figure skating and ballet." Rice was briefly engaged to football player Rick Upchurch in the 1970s but left him because "she knew the relationship wasn't going to work." She's only 58, and by our standards, she has managed just fine, thank you so much. (credit:Alamy)
Kevin Spacey(07 of12)

Actor Kevin Spacey has never been married and is very private about his love life. In 2010, he told The Daily Beast , "Look, I might have lived in England for the last several years but I'm still an American citizen and I have not given up my right to privacy." (credit:Getty Images)
Edie Falco(08 of12)

I think we were all surprised that Edie Falco, who turns 50 in July, has not been married. Being married to mobster Tony Soprano on the HBO series "The Sopranos" made us think she had to have the perfect marriage outside of show business. She played the long-suffering wife so convincingly, that it was a natural assumption that she would have a husband in real life. Her maternal instincts on the show played out in real life. Falco has adopted two children, a son in 2005 and a daughter in 2008 . Of her life as a single woman, Edie has said , "Im not sad about any of my life. Its so unconventional. It doesnt look anything like I thought it would." (credit:Getty Images)
Richard Chamberlain(09 of12)

Raise your hands if you swooned over "Dr. Kildare" from 1961 to 1966. Richard Chamberlain was the epitome of suave, debonair and sexy in that role! Chamberlain officially came out as gay in 2003 . It has been reported that "Chamberlain was romantically involved with television actor Wesley Eure in the early 1970s. He resided in Hawaii with his partner, actor-writer-producer Martin Rabbett, from 1976 to 2010." At 78, we're not sure if marriage is in his future, but he can take a cue from our friend Jim Nabors who just tied the knot at the tender age of 82. We love you guys so much! (credit:Getty Images)
Robin Roberts(10 of12)

Robin Roberts is our hero! Even though the "Good Morning America" anchor has had a rough few months dealing with her bone-marrow transplant, she is undoubtedly the most beloved person alive! She was surrounded by her GMA co-anchors, her immediate family and thousands of colleagues and friends who showered her with unconditional love throughout her whole ordeal. Robin Roberts, you are one lucky woman! Add The Huffington Post to the list of those who love you. You are always in our hearts. As told to Diane Sawyer about how she managed on those tough days..."Left foot, right foot. Breathe." Courage personified! (credit:Alamy)
Garry Shandling(11 of12)

Stand-up comedian and actor ("The Larry Sanders Show") Garry Shandling used to begin his stand-up routine by saying: "I've got a lot of problems, so let's get started." So funny on stage, but perhaps his "problems" kept him from finding the perfect wife, although the universe is still searching for you Garry, we're sure. Don't be so quick to turn your back on "happily ever after." Hellooooooo... are you even listening? (credit:Getty Images)
Drew Carey(12 of12)

"The Price Is Right" for host Drew Carey, but apparently he hasn't found the "right" woman to get him to "Come On Down"... the aisle that is! (That's not dirty, no matter what you're thinking.) Carey has a son with Nicole Jaracz , and even though the 54-year-old actor and stand-up comedian proposed in 2007, the couple called off their engagement in January 2012. (credit:Getty Images)
