"My dance was a rebellion against the ordinary."

"I am a woman who loves pleasure and who loves adventure."

"They accuse me of being a German spy, but I am a citizen of the world."

"My dance is a sacred poem in which each movement is a word and whose every word is underlined by music. The temple in which I dance can be vague or faithfully reproduced, for I am the temple."

"To dance is to live."
