More quotes by Mikhail Baryshnikov
I don't go to a gym, I don't do yoga. I don't do personal training.
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
When I'm alone, I work sometimes with music, sometimes without and sometimes just listening to NPR.
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
Fundamentals are the building blocks of fun.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
A country like Belgium, or socialist countries in central Europe spend more money on art education than the United States, which is a really puzzling thought.
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
Dancers are stripped enough onstage. You don't have to know more about them than they've given you already.
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
I am teaching more. That is what I do best.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
To achieve some depth in your field requires a lot of sacrifices.
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
People of art should never get married and have children, because it's a selfish experience.
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
Working is living to me.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
I kind of lost interest in the classical dance. I was very much interested in the modern choreography.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
I cannot stand authority.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
What people will do to get away from boredom!
Mikhail Baryshnikov
It doesn't matter how high you lift your leg. The technique is about transparency, simplicity, making an earnest attempt.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
