More quotes by Mikhail Baryshnikov
Fundamentals are the building blocks of fun.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
There comes a moment in a young artist's life when he knows he has to bring something to the stage from within himself. He has to put in something in order to be able to take something.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
It's what's left in life, to work with interesting people.
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
Every ballet, whether or not successful artistically or with the public, has given me something important.
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
Acting is not my language at all.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
I have some Russian friends. But probably only 10 percent. I don't hang out usually in the big Russian communities in Brooklyn and New Jersey.
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
I don't go to a gym, I don't do yoga. I don't do personal training.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
My mother had a son from previous marriage and her husband died in Second World War.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
Dance is an ephemeral, a fleeting art. To describe this momentum, every movement on stage, in words is virtually impossible.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
I am not the first straight dancer or the last.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
I cannot stand authority.
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 get speeding ticket like everybody else. If the restaurant is full I'm waiting in line like everybody else.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
I don't try to dance better than anybody but myself.
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
It doesn't matter how high you lift your leg. The technique is about transparency, simplicity, making an earnest attempt.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
I've always said, 'I am a selector, I am not defector' - the first few phrases in English I learned. I said I hate 'defector' something defective about the people. It's a bad word.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
