More quotes by Mikhail Baryshnikov

Mikhail Baryshnikov
I kind of lost interest in the classical dance. I was very much interested in the modern choreography.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
I cannot stand authority.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
Divinity of art, it's such a mystery. How to convince people that no matter how much money you can spend on education and art education especially, that it implants, it directs a young person for the rest of their lives, and always in the most humane and positive and dignified manner.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
Just sit and open your eyes and open your heart. It's dance theater.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
When I see people on the street, I look at how they walk. It's like a signature, a fingerprint.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
I don't try to dance better than anybody but myself.
Mikhail Baryshnikov

Nobody is born a dancer.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
I like to go to anybody else's birthday, and if I'm invited I'm a good guest. But I never celebrate my birthdays. I really don't care.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
What do dancers think of Fred Astaire? It's no secret. We hate him. He gives us a complex because he's too perfect. His perfection is an absurdity. It's too hard to face.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
Dances have a second and third life. You feel they are never ready. They always have a chance for another life.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
I would like to go and dance in Palestine one day, with great pleasure, great pleasure.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
My father was a Party member and he was a pretty high rank military officer under the colonel, junior colonel, I don't know the term. He was a total Stalinist. A bit with a streak of anti-Semitism and very shrewd man, a very kind of nervous man.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
I adored my mother, and I will always have extraordinary memories about her and remember her, and she opened the doors for me to appreciate arts.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
You cannot be happy with your family while being personally unhappy with your work. It's a Catch-22 kind of thing.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
I have been very lucky to work in so many new ballets, but that is what a dancer's work is.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
