More quotes by 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
Dance is an ephemeral, a fleeting art. To describe this momentum, every movement on stage, in words is virtually impossible.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
I feel very uneasy with a lot of aspects of the Russian life and the Russian people.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
Nobody else in the world has a form like the Native American musical, and Americans should be very proud.
Mikhail Baryshnikov

Mikhail Baryshnikov
Dancers are stripped enough onstage. You don't have to know more about them than they've given you already.
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
I never liked dance photography it's very flat, and dance photography in the studio looks very contrived.
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 am not the first straight dancer or the last.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
I cannot stand authority.
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
Running a company is pretty demanding.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
Obviously, the young dancers lack a certain air of maturity.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
To walk across the street is a risk.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
