Sex was a pleasurable form of exercise, like dancing.
I wanted to get far away from those who believed in cruelty, so then I went to France, a land of true freedom, democracy, equality and fraternity.
The old Catholic parties hounded me with a Christian hatred from station to station, city to city, one stage to another.
I have two loves: my country and Paris.
One dance had made me the most famous colored woman in the world.
I believe if the white and colored people could get together and be let alone, they would understand each other and consequently love each other.
