I fall in love with myself, and I want someone to share it with me. And I want someone to share me, with me.

I never identified with anybody. I have always been very sensitive about my color, because everybody called me 'yellow gal.' I was caught in between both sides - nobody wanted me. I love that my audience is there, but I always feel as though I have to fend for myself.

The public has become my fairy godmother.

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.

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

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!
