Mikhail Baryshnikov
Running a company is pretty demanding.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
I get speeding ticket like everybody else. If the restaurant is full I'm waiting in line like everybody else.
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
You cannot dance physically certain things. But look at tango dancers or flamenco or Japanese classical theater. You can, if you're smart enough and you collaborate with the right choreographers, you could really dance your age.
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
Obviously, the young dancers lack a certain air of maturity.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
It's weird when you see pieces of choreography that were done for you 15 or 20 years ago and now they are being done by another dance company.
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
Nobody else in the world has a form like the Native American musical, and Americans should be very proud.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
Now there is in a way a renaissance of modern dance - suddenly, it is more respected and discovered.
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
People of art should never get married and have children, because it's a selfish experience.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
I think art education, especially in this country, which government pretty much ignores, is so important for young people.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
You don't measure life by receiving awards.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
I kind of lost interest in the classical dance. I was very much interested in the modern choreography.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
Dance is an ephemeral, a fleeting art. To describe this momentum, every movement on stage, in words is virtually impossible.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
Every ballet, whether or not successful artistically or with the public, has given me something important.
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
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.
