To achieve some depth in your field requires a lot of sacrifices.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
I kind of lost interest in the classical dance. I was very much interested in the modern choreography.
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

Mikhail Baryshnikov
The problem is not making up the steps but deciding which ones to keep.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
Running a company is pretty demanding.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
I really reject that kind of comparison that says, Oh, he is the best. This is the second best. There is no such thing.
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
I never liked dance photography it's very flat, and dance photography in the studio looks very contrived.
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
What people will do to get away from boredom!
Mikhail Baryshnikov
Creative Artists Agency put together a project of extraordinary mediocrity and colossal stupidity. Otherwise, it was great.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
