"In essence, I'm a sophisticated cotton picker." — Eartha Kitt

I had almost three acres of land in Beverly Hills. And I had a big atrium of chickens because I love that feeling of being in the country and living from the soil.

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 was an illegitimate, well, I still am an illegitimate child.

I don't think I ever really got interested in theater.
