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
Obviously, the young dancers lack a certain air of maturity.
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
I get speeding ticket like everybody else. If the restaurant is full I'm waiting in line like everybody else.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
What brought me to the theater, no matter you're a Jew or a Russian or Armenian or Latvian, are suddenly illuminated by stage light and one beautiful image of dance.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
Just sit and open your eyes and open your heart. It's dance theater.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
Dance is an ephemeral, a fleeting art. To describe this momentum, every movement on stage, in words is virtually impossible.
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
I have been very lucky to work in so many new ballets, but that is what a dancer's work is.
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
The problem is not making up the steps but deciding which ones to keep.
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
To walk across the street is a risk.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
Now there is in a way a renaissance of modern dance - suddenly, it is more respected and discovered.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
Creative Artists Agency put together a project of extraordinary mediocrity and colossal stupidity. Otherwise, it was great.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
Fundamentals are the building blocks of fun.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
Perfection is a theory. You cannot be a perfect human being, perfect artist. You cannot be a perfect husband, you cannot be a perfect father probably and probably I am not. But go through your daily routine with hope you will be a little better in all respects, and do something meaningful
Mikhail Baryshnikov
When I see people on the street, I look at how they walk. It's like a signature, a fingerprint.
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
I don't go to a gym, I don't do yoga. I don't do personal training.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
