What people will do to get away from boredom!
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
To achieve some depth in your field requires a lot of sacrifices.
