A biography for Sergei Poluninhasn’t been written yet.
“I don't have time to party; I'm always on the plane.”
“In my head I want to do dancing as a hobby. I don't want it to be my job. I want to do it as a joy, not having to do not-very-good galas just to make my living.”
“I actually always have good intentions.”
“If you just stay still and don't create, you die as an artist.”
“To think is to create and that's what's most important.”
“When I was a kid I always liked scratching myself - making shapes, making drawings, and I always thought I would have a tattoo.”
“It's important not to forget what parents did for you, what friends are.”
“I struggle to get the big companies to trust me, or be willing to work with me.”
“The problem was I didn't have a mentor. Nobody ever sat me down and said, 'That's how life is. You're going to have trouble here or there.'”
“Plant or animal, black or white, gay or straight, man or woman, I always see things deeper than just a surface. I always look deep inside the person and you will see a beautiful person in every human being.”
“It's not being bad; it's about trying to find yourself. It's strange how people take you.”
“I didn't choose ballet, it was my mum's choice.”
“Would I be happy just to be an actor? I don't think I would.”
“Unfortunately, in our society, nobody wants people to think.”
“I always hoped I would be injured so I didn't have to dance any more.”
“Sometimes I don't eat all day, then have four meals between 8 P. M. and 4 A. M.”
“It's very important for humans to see dance, it's a language that everybody understands.”
“I wasted so many years just traveling and sitting in hotels, searching for things, not knowing.”
“I want to create a platform where dancers can be creative away from their day jobs. I want them to be able to express their joy, their personalities and to have fun.”
“I like imperfections in the world.”
