More quotes by 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
A theater is such a revealing form of art, such a transparent and good actors, they're such powerful individuals. I always kind of dreamt that one day I will open my mouth on stage.
Mikhail Baryshnikov

Mikhail Baryshnikov
I am not the first straight dancer or the last.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
The problem is not making up the steps but deciding which ones to keep.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
Perfection is a theory. You cannot be a perfect human being, perfect artist. You cannot be a perfect husband, you cannot be a perfect father probably and probably I am not. But go through your daily routine with hope you will be a little better in all respects, and do something meaningful
Mikhail Baryshnikov
I get speeding ticket like everybody else. If the restaurant is full I'm waiting in line like everybody else.

Mikhail Baryshnikov
I was never like, collect, collect, like people who go to auctions. I never spent a serious amount of time because I don't have any time!
Mikhail Baryshnikov
It's weird when you see pieces of choreography that were done for you 15 or 20 years ago and now they are being done by another dance company.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
Dance is an ephemeral, a fleeting art. To describe this momentum, every movement on stage, in words is virtually impossible.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
Nobody is born a dancer.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
It's what's left in life, to work with interesting people.
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
You invest into the future, and that's how young people become human in best sense of it - through the great experience of listening a Müller symphony or to see a great play by Tennessee Williams, experience something in a ballet, in a film.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
Dancers are stripped enough onstage. You don't have to know more about them than they've given you already.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
Acting is not my language at all.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
