Mikhail Baryshnikov

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
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
Creative Artists Agency put together a project of extraordinary mediocrity and colossal stupidity. Otherwise, it was great.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
You don't measure life by receiving awards.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
I never liked dance photography it's very flat, and dance photography in the studio looks very contrived.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
I've always said, 'I am a selector, I am not defector' - the first few phrases in English I learned. I said I hate 'defector' something defective about the people. It's a bad word.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
