More quotes by Mikhail Baryshnikov
To achieve some depth in your field requires a lot of sacrifices.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
When I'm alone, I work sometimes with music, sometimes without and sometimes just listening to NPR.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
Running a company is pretty demanding.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
I don't go to a gym, I don't do yoga. I don't do personal training.
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
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
You cannot be happy with your family while being personally unhappy with your work. It's a Catch-22 kind of thing.
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
Just sit and open your eyes and open your heart. It's dance theater.
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
It doesn't matter how high you lift your leg. The technique is about transparency, simplicity, making an earnest attempt.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
When I see people on the street, I look at how they walk. It's like a signature, a fingerprint.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
The problem is not making up the steps but deciding which ones to keep.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
A theater is such a revealing form of art, such a transparent and good actors, they're such powerful individuals. I always kind of dreamt that one day I will open my mouth on stage.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
I am teaching more. That is what I do best.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
It's what's left in life, to work with interesting people.
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
Working is living to me.
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
In the second part of life you get rid of stuff you've accumulated.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
