Mikhail Baryshnikov
  • I like to go to anybody else's birthday, and if I'm invited I'm a good guest. But I never celebrate my birthdays. I really don't care.

  • No dancer can watch Fred Astaire and not know that we all should have been in another business.

  • I think art education, especially in this country, which government pretty much ignores, is so important for young people.

  • 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.

  • People of art should never get married and have children, because it's a selfish experience.
