“I am a mother and I know the feeling of having a baby come out of my gut.”

This is where you see the truth of entertainment, because it is not edited. You see it on stage as it is happening. Even if we fall down or forget our words, it’s a part of live entertainment.

You don’t have to hit anybody on the head to be sexy.

I don’t wear my political feelings on my sleeve. However, if I’m asked, I will answer honestly.

I never take anything for granted. I may slip any minute.

I love men and I like to get their attention.

I am learning all the time. The tombstone will be my diploma.

I’ve always been multi-cultural myself. I’m not black and I’m not white and I’m not pink and I’m not green. Eartha Kitt has no color, and that is how barriers are broken.

Live theater to me is much more free than the movies or television.

The audience has always been my best director.

Whenever I walk out on a stage, I’m begging for affection.

Greed is so destructive. It destroys everything.
