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.

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 don't have to have the biggest house or the biggest car or the longest mink, but quality of life is really glamorous.

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.

The public has become my fairy godmother.

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.

The boys that were running away from America because they didn't want to get involved with the Vietnam War had come to me. They would tell me how they felt.
