Eartha Kitt's quotes

  • I am the original Material Girl.
  • 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.
  • [at the White House in 1968] I am a mother and I know the feeling of having a baby come out of my gut. I have a baby and then you send him off to war. No wonder the kids rebel and take pot.
  • [on her friendship with James Dean] Jamie and I were like brother and sister. He told me, in fact, he thought of me as a sister. Our relationship was strictly platonic and spiritual.
  • I don't carry myself as a black person but as a woman that belongs to everybody. After all, it's the general public that made me - not any one particular group. So I don't think of myself as belonging to any particular group and never have.
  • 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.
  • A man has always wanted to lay me down but he never wanted to pick me up.
  • [on Orson Welles] Orson spent most of his money on women. That's why he didn't have the money to make films.
  • If someone would even suggest such a vulgar thing as a goodbye-themed event for me, I would pretend I didn't hear it. Goodbye to what? My whole life?
