“My house was bugged. They couldn’t find any information on me being a subversive because I happen to love America; I just don’t like some of the things the government is doing.”

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.

I love to tease men with my legs.

I punish myself more than anybody else does if I am stupid about my actions, and I suffer, really suffer.

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

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

The audience has always been my best director.

If you’re looking for immediate rewards, you’re only looking for the money.

I was an illegitimate, well, I still am an illegitimate child.

I was given away. If your mother gives you away, you think everybody who comes into your life is going to give you away.

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

Greed is so destructive. It destroys everything.

Other times when I hear the wind blow I feel that just hearing the wind blow makes it worth being born.

I’m not one for being too profound, but I will say this. If you wanna have a good time.

Sometimes as human beings, we’re so contradictory – we may say something or do something and completely contradict ourselves.

By doing this I sense instantly when something isn’t right. Watching something does not mean fixing your gaze on it, but being aware of it in a natural way.

Although human beings are incapable of talking about themselves with total honesty, it is much harder to avoid the truth while pretending to be other people.

Human beings share the same common problems. A film can only be understood if it depicts these properly.

I think my being such a nomad let me into acting. I was always having to create a new image whenever we moved.

Human beings are unable to be honest with themselves about themselves. They cannot talk about themselves without embellishing.
