I am supposed to be, according to what I am told, one of the children of the cotton plantation owner's sons. If I could prove that, I'd own the whole goddamn everything.

Everything should be done with moderation and using common sense.

You don't move just because you want to go from this point to that point - the body has to be using the words as well as you vocally use the words.

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

Greed can be very dangerous because you sacrifice your soul for the sake of something material, and then you start sacrificing people in order to keep that which is material.

I fight for other people better than I fight for myself.

I do not have an act. I just do Eartha Kitt... I want to be whoever Eartha Kitt is until the gods take me wherever they take me.
