I shall dance all my life. . . . I would like to die, breathless, spent, at the end of a dance.
I have two loves: my country and Paris.
I believe in prayer. It's the best way we have to draw strength from heaven.
I like Frenchmen very much, because even when they insult you they do it so nicely.
I spent 30 minutes each morning rubbing my body with half a lemon to lighten my skin.
Sex was a pleasurable form of exercise, like dancing.
