Quotes

Sergei Polunin

  • Just let me live my life.
  • I wish I could have built without destroying things.
  • People are going to think what they want to think. I let them. You can't control perception. It's a losing game so I don't play. I let them lose; lose themselves in their own fantasies of what they want me to be. A rebel, an angel, a romantic, a heart breaker, a boy, a man. Perhaps I am all of those things. Perhaps I'm none. But what I am is for me to find out, not to be dictated to me. It's for me to know.
  • If you open yourself as an artist, as a human being to this experience of growing, you grow anyway.
  • I normally don't regret. I enjoy everything, even if it's bad or good.
  • As soon as I said to myself, "Oh I'm not a dancer; I'm not an actor," it made me so free to do anything. It made me free to not rush, to not be scared of things and say, "Oh, I have no time," or, "I'm not going to make this or that."
  • What made my mind go free is that I wanted to become an artist.
  • I can one day do dance, and the next maybe do a movie, and then maybe I can choreograph, or work with different photographers for fashion shoots, or different art forms. You're never stuck. You're going at a different level. You're sucking in things, rather than closing. You're trying things out.
  • Artists are kids. I feel like I'm six years old.
  • I feel like I'm getting stronger and stronger, and I don't practice as much as I used to.
  • I wish I could, instead of destroying things like that, I wish I could build, build, build.
  • I feel like I'm a kid again.
  • The action heroes were very cool as a kid. You would compare yourself with them - Jean-Claude Van Damme and Arnold Schwarzenegger.
  • Not many people understand that, but if you open yourself to listening - you don't even have to exercise - you get better with time.
  • Now I want to become an artist, rather than one thing, like a dancer, or a movie star, or a choreographer.
  • Fashion was very important to me because I could practice my acting skills, I could practice working with the camera, I could work with amazing photographers. It just gave me a different field of work.
  • I realized what an artist is and what it is to be an artist.
  • I could only destroy to build.
  • I wake up and I do class straight away, so that gives me a free day to do things.
  • As an artist, you have a choice. That gave me the freedom to do what I want to.
  • I was very, very inspired [by movies].
