“My recipe for life is not being afraid of myself, afraid of what I think or of my opinions.”

I don’t think I ever really got interested in theater.

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.

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.

There are times when you have to choose between being human and having good taste.

Even being right 3 or 4 times out of 10 should yield a person a fortune if he has the sense to cut his losses quickly on the ventures where he is wrong.

Before you invest, you must ensure that you have realistically assessed your probability of being right and how you will react to the consequences of being wrong.

I wasn’t ever advised by Scott Sullivan of anything ever being wrong.

You have to give it your all to be successful.

When I started singing about my life and what I was going through, I felt more confident. It was my own life, I was being myself, I was telling people what was happening.

The fulfilment that is being in love with God is not the product of our knowledge and choice. It is God’s gift.

Being awesome makes me hungry.
