I love performing. I shall perform until the day I die.
I wasn't really naked. I simply didn't have any clothes on.
I have two loves: my country and Paris.
I shall dance all my life. . . . I would like to die, breathless, spent, at the end of a dance.
I was a devil in other countries, and I was a little devil in America, too.
The hate directed against the colored people here in St. Louis has always given me a sad feeling... How can you expect the world to believe in you and respect your preaching of democracy when you yourself treat your colored brothers as you do?
