More quotes by 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
He [Astaire] was not a sexual animal, but he made his partners look so extraordinarily related to him.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
When a body moves, it's the most revealing thing. Dance for me a minute, and I'll tell you who you are.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
I have some Russian friends. But probably only 10 percent. I don't hang out usually in the big Russian communities in Brooklyn and New Jersey.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
It doesn't matter how high you lift your leg. The technique is about transparency, simplicity, making an earnest attempt.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
Dance is an ephemeral, a fleeting art. To describe this momentum, every movement on stage, in words is virtually impossible.
Mikhail Baryshnikov

Mikhail Baryshnikov

Mikhail Baryshnikov

It's what's left in life, to work with interesting people.
Mikhail Baryshnikov

Mikhail Baryshnikov

Mikhail Baryshnikov
Running a company is pretty demanding.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
You see, dancers are quite mature people because they start performing so early. They become professionals when they start to take everyday classes.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
Working is living to me.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
I was not extremely patriotic about Mother Russia. I played their game, pretending. You have to deal with, you know, party people, KGB. Horrifying.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
To achieve some depth in your field requires a lot of sacrifices.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
I don't try to dance better than anybody but myself.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
I never liked dance photography it's very flat, and dance photography in the studio looks very contrived.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
