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 would like to go and dance in Palestine one day, with great pleasure, great pleasure.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
