Jewelry, to me, is a pain in the derriere, because you have to be watching it all the time.

I don't wear my political feelings on my sleeve. However, if I'm asked, I will answer honestly.

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

Let's take care of the necessities first: give people jobs, and find a way to get us out of poverty

You send the best of this country off to be shot and maimed. No wonder the kids rebel and take pot.

Let's take care of the necessities first: give people jobs, and find a way to get us out of poverty.

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

People in general are used to seeing me as the naughty girl because that's what they've always cast me as.

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 always believe in living in the country, because that's where what I eat is what I can put back in the dirt.

I'm still with that feeling that I am afraid of doing the wrong thing, because somebody is going to punish me.

I thought Britney Spears was absolutely marvelous in the beginning. But now I think she's gone off the deep end.

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

I was given away. If your mother gives you away, you think everybody who comes into your life is going to give you away.

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.

I would like to be writing more because people are constantly asking me questions, and I write down what they are asking me.

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.

I've always said to my men friends, If you really care for me, darling, you will give me territory. Give me land, give me land.

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 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.

I sent my daughter 40 roses last November because I thought she was 40. And she laughed her head off. She is not going to be 40 until this year!

As the 'Batman' TV series was returning to ABC for its second season in 1967, the TV bosses decided to take Catwoman into another direction... lucky for me.

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.

I love being in America. I used to love traveling and I am glad that I was able to go around the world. I still love to go to Europe, but I always want to come home.
