"People of art should never get married and have children, because it’s a selfish experience." ― Mikhail Baryshnikov Topic(s): Art More From Mikhail Baryshnikov "I really reject that kind of comparison that says, Oh, he is the best. This is the second best. There is no such thing." "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." More In Art "I am quite certain in my heart of hearts that modern music and modern art is not a conspiracy, but is a form of truth and integrity for those who practise it honestly, decently and with all their being."― Michael Tippett "The writer, when he is also an artist, is someone who admits what others don’t dare reveal."― Elia Kazan "Art is for anyone. It just isn’t for everyone. Still, over the past decade, its audience has hugely grown, and that’s irked those outside the art world, who get irritated at things like incomprehensibility or money."― Jerry Saltz
