“Relationships can be rather uncomfortable for her. But, as Eartha Kitt, it’s fine. I can accept and reject any time I want to. Do I ever reject? Not really. Although people think I do!”

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.

I was considered an ugly duckling.

I am the original ‘Material Girl.’

I had almost three acres of land in Beverly Hills. And I had a big atrium of chickens because I love that feeling of being in the country and living from the soil.
