More quotes by Mikhail Baryshnikov
I am not the first straight dancer or the last.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
I cannot stand authority.
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 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
When I'm alone, I work sometimes with music, sometimes without and sometimes just listening to NPR.
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
Obviously, the young dancers lack a certain air of maturity.
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

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
Nobody else in the world has a form like the Native American musical, and Americans should be very proud.
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 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
You cannot be happy with your family while being personally unhappy with your work. It's a Catch-22 kind of thing.
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
I would like to go and dance in Palestine one day, with great pleasure, great pleasure.
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
People dance at any age.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
To walk across the street is a risk.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
We're trying to stretch our muscles creatively. It gives us so much more freedom.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
