To achieve some depth in your field requires a lot of sacrifices. Want to or not, you're thinking about what you're doing in life-in my case, dancing.
From Mikhail Baryshnikov
My mother had a son from previous marriage and her husband died in Second World War.
I would like to go and dance in Palestine one day, with great pleasure, great pleasure.
No matter what I try to do or explore, my Kirov training, my expertise, and my background call me to return to dancing after all, because that's my real vocation, and I have to serve it.
Creative Artists Agency put together a project of extraordinary mediocrity and colossal stupidity. Otherwise, it was great.
I was not extremely patriotic about Mother Russia. I played their game, pretending. You have to deal with, you know, party people, KGB. Horrifying.
I think art education, especially in this country, which government pretty much ignores, is so important for young people.
Dancing is my obsession. My life.
I cannot belong to a nonprofit organization because when you receive grants, you have to make such great compromises with your artistic plans.
You see, dancers are quite mature people because they start performing so early. They become professionals when they start to take everyday classes.
