“I have never discovered that the nude could be studied in any way except the way I have adopted. All the muscles must be pointed out. To do this all the drapery must be removed.”

As quoted in "Rita Remains Striking, Trim, Busy" in The Palm Beach Post (16 October 1969)]
Context: Everybody else does nude scenes, but I don't. I never made nude movies. I didn't have to do that. I danced. … I was provocative, I guess in some things. But I was not completely exposed.

As quoted in Modern Dancing and Dancers (1912) by John Ernest Crawford Flitch, p. 106.
