Mikhail Baryshnikov // “When a dancer comes on stage, he is not just a blank slate...Behind him he has all the decisions he has made in life...You are looking at the person he is, the person who, at this point, he cannot help but be... Exceptional dancers, in my experience, are also exceptional people...people with an attitude toward life, a kind of quest...They know who they are and they show this to you, willingly."
