More quotes by Mikhail Baryshnikov
I was never like, collect, collect, like people who go to auctions. I never spent a serious amount of time because I don't have any time!
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 really reject that kind of comparison that says, Oh, he is the best. This is the second best. There is no such thing.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
When a body moves, it's the most revealing thing. Dance for me a minute, and I'll tell you who you are.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
It's what's left in life, to work with interesting people.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
I am not the first straight dancer or the last.
Mikhail Baryshnikov

Mikhail Baryshnikov
When I see people on the street, I look at how they walk. It's like a signature, a fingerprint.

Mikhail Baryshnikov
I cannot stand authority.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
He [Astaire] was not a sexual animal, but he made his partners look so extraordinarily related to him.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
I was not extremely patriotic about Mother Russia. I played their game, pretending. You have to deal with, you know, party people, KGB. Horrifying.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
I kind of lost interest in the classical dance. I was very much interested in the modern choreography.
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
Nothing is ever too expensive if it furthers the repertoire and artistic standards of a dance company.
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
Every ballet, whether or not successful artistically or with the public, has given me something important.
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
People dance at any age.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
Just sit and open your eyes and open your heart. It's dance theater.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
