More quotes by Mikhail Baryshnikov
Obviously, the young dancers lack a certain air of maturity.
Mikhail Baryshnikov

Mikhail Baryshnikov

Mikhail Baryshnikov
Although I don't gamble in life - I've never played poker - I do gamble on stage. I gamble with myself: 'Can I do this?'
Mikhail Baryshnikov

Mikhail Baryshnikov
I am not the first straight dancer or the last.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
A country like Belgium, or socialist countries in central Europe spend more money on art education than the United States, which is a really puzzling thought.
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
He [Astaire] was not a sexual animal, but he made his partners look so extraordinarily related to him.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
It doesn't matter how high you lift your leg. The technique is about transparency, simplicity, making an earnest attempt.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
Nobody is born a dancer.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
