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.

I still can't go over a subway grating without looking down to see if there is some money there.

The price we pay for being ourselves is worth it.

I'm very happy with what the gods have given me. I take life as she presents herself to me, and whatever you see in my face is what I have earned.

Don't depend on other people to be responsible for you. Don't make yourself stressed out over nonsensical things like material things.

When we want to have our own style of living, it is nobody's business but ours. What we do in private is our private business.

Sometimes it's good to fall down to see who will pick you up.
