More quotes by Mikhail Baryshnikov
In the second part of life you get rid of stuff you've accumulated.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
The problem is not making up the steps but deciding which ones to keep.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
I would like to go and dance in Palestine one day, with great pleasure, great pleasure.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
I never liked dance photography it's very flat, and dance photography in the studio looks very contrived.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
Nobody is born a dancer.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
I am not the first straight dancer or the last.
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
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
You see, dancers are quite mature people because they start performing so early. They become professionals when they start to take everyday classes.
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 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
People dance at any age.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
I like to go to anybody else's birthday, and if I'm invited I'm a good guest. But I never celebrate my birthdays. I really don't care.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
The more injuries you get, the smarter you get.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
Every ballet, whether or not successful artistically or with the public, has given me something important.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
The Russian people get so insanely close to each other as friends. Their lives are interrelated so much on an everyday basis.
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
Just sit and open your eyes and open your heart. It's dance theater.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
What people will do to get away from boredom!
Mikhail Baryshnikov
Dances have a second and third life. You feel they are never ready. They always have a chance for another life.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
