More quotes by Mikhail Baryshnikov
We're trying to stretch our muscles creatively. It gives us so much more freedom.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
Creative Artists Agency put together a project of extraordinary mediocrity and colossal stupidity. Otherwise, it was great.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
It's what's left in life, to work with interesting people.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
Running a company is pretty demanding.
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
In the second part of life you get rid of stuff you've accumulated.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
Fundamentals are the building blocks of fun.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
You cannot be happy with your family while being personally unhappy with your work. It's a Catch-22 kind of thing.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
I think I got disappointed over the years about New York, about the States. You know, sometimes you go and visit Europe and see good old socialism in its good part! You see public concern about art, and young people's participation and young faces in the audience.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
My mother had a son from previous marriage and her husband died in Second World War.
Mikhail Baryshnikov

Mikhail Baryshnikov
I kind of lost interest in the classical dance. I was very much interested in the modern choreography.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
I am not the first straight dancer or the last.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
You cannot dance physically certain things. But look at tango dancers or flamenco or Japanese classical theater. You can, if you're smart enough and you collaborate with the right choreographers, you could really dance your age.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
The more injuries you get, the smarter you get.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
It doesn't matter how high you lift your leg. The technique is about transparency, simplicity, making an earnest attempt.
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
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
I don't go to a gym, I don't do yoga. I don't do personal training.
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
