More quotes by Mikhail Baryshnikov

Mikhail Baryshnikov
When I'm alone, I work sometimes with music, sometimes without and sometimes just listening to NPR.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
He [Astaire] was not a sexual animal, but he made his partners look so extraordinarily related to him.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
I am not the first straight dancer or the last.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
People dance at any age.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
Every ballet, whether or not successful artistically or with the public, has given me something important.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
The problem is not making up the steps but deciding which ones to keep.
Mikhail Baryshnikov

Mikhail Baryshnikov
Nobody is born a dancer.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
I think I got disappointed over the years about New York, about the States. You know, sometimes you go and visit Europe and see good old socialism in its good part! You see public concern about art, and young people's participation and young faces in the audience.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
To walk across the street is a risk.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
I feel very uneasy with a lot of aspects of the Russian life and the Russian people.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
I don't drink milk, and I don't eat bread, pasta or rice. But I eat a lot of meat, chicken, fish and salads.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
You cannot dance physically certain things. But look at tango dancers or flamenco or Japanese classical theater. You can, if you're smart enough and you collaborate with the right choreographers, you could really dance your age.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
It doesn't matter how high you lift your leg. The technique is about transparency, simplicity, making an earnest attempt.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
Acting is not my language at all.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
