“Whenever I walk out on a stage, I'm begging for affection.” — Eartha Kitt Quote

“Whenever I walk out on a stage, I'm begging for affection.”

“Just because you are different does not mean that you have to be rejected.”

“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!”

“I can't say what she did was bad, because she did the best she could, but Mum's input was more to do with survival and I didn't really receive any affection. But although I only remember sunshine growing up on the council estate, I never wanted to show my vulnerability because I was told that would make you a victim.”

“We had some wonderful people raising us, but they still weren't our parents. As you get older, it gets distorted and convoluted, complicated, and, of course, you start looking for attention, affection, affinity in all the wrong places and in all the wrong ways.”
