I am learning all the time. The tombstone will be my diploma.
The river is constantly turning and bending and you never know where it's going to go and where you'll wind up. Following the bend in the river and staying on your own path means that you are on the right track. Don't let anyone deter you from that.
It's best if you can do things with a sense of humor and finesse.
The price we pay for being ourselves is worth it.
It’s all about falling in love with yourself and sharing that love with someone who appreciates you, rather than looking for love to compensate for a self love deficit.
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.
Eartha Mae is very shy. She's scared to be seen, scared of rejection and even afraid of affection. 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 wouldn't bother to describe me. I'm Eartha Kitt.
I have a great need for affection from an audience. I don't know whether this is because I had such a tough life when I was a child.
I'm an orphan. But the public has adopted me, and that has been my only family. The biggest family in the world is my fans.
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.
Whenever I walk out on a stage, I'm begging for affection.
Maybe subconsciously I feel I was meant to work hard for a living.
In the '50s, critics used to say I had a 'dangerous' act.
