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 would like to be writing more because people are constantly asking me questions, and I write down what they are asking me.
I was invited to a luncheon with 49 other women to give my opinions about the problematic situation among young people. They wanted me to talk about why is there so much juvenile delinquency in the streets of America.
People in general are used to seeing me as the naughty girl because that's what they've always cast me as.
People these days are thinking less and drinking more.

I think it's fun to look at people with big diamonds. I see them in my audience all the time, with the fur coat, a woman whose hand is always out front, or the two fingers are on the cheek to show her diamond. I don't have anything against that.
I'm in and out of all the areas of the business. But of course the main thing is singing and acting.
My aunt, or whoever it was, who brought me from the South, would have killed me, because she didn't like anything like that. The only thing she liked was a concert pianist. Which is marvelous; I wish I'd studied piano.
