Mikhail Baryshnikov
To achieve some depth in your field requires a lot of sacrifices.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
We're trying to stretch our muscles creatively. It gives us so much more freedom.
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 feel very uneasy with a lot of aspects of the Russian life and the Russian people.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
Nobody else in the world has a form like the Native American musical, and Americans should be very proud.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
A country like Belgium, or socialist countries in central Europe spend more money on art education than the United States, which is a really puzzling thought.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
I think art education, especially in this country, which government pretty much ignores, is so important for young people.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
