[@brihmendiola4347]

Sacrifices are essential to achieve something great. In his case he had to give up his friends, his country and most of all his mother. What a price to pay. He was happy performing but in between unhappy. This world could never have total happiness. Only in heaven there is total happiness. He is there now.

[@constancemitchell9846]

I do not believe he is in heaven. But if he had repented of his lifestyle and believed in Jesus as the Son of God before he died. Yes. he is in heaven, if not, no matter his great life without Christ, he dropped in hell. Its faith in Christ, not greatness of ur past sinful life that qualifies u for heaven.

[@fashionearrings]

Nureyev was not a believer. And a good thing too when you look at all the hate disguised as "love". Hilarious.

[@lindildeev5721]

@@constancemitchell9846 I can't believe that somebody was stupid enough to like this (or maybe it was just you). When you manage to achieve your goals, to do the right thing, to listen yourself and not people trying to stop you, do you really need a god who caused at least a million of people to die ?

Nureyev had a very difficult life, and through his trials had learned to develop extreme levels of self discipline that enabled him to push through which made him truly great.

[@mariaroncara2132]

Wish he had applied his self discipline and not give his beautiful body to another man, so he could be still alive now. Aids is a terrible price to pay for sex.

[@raptorchick21]

I met Nureyev in 1966 in Hawaii, he was very gracious and put up with a teenage girl that admired him. This interview shows how much fun he can really be. I saw him again in San Francisco when I started at the Ballet school on scholarship.. Meeting him had a big influence on my life, and dancing. My teachers were from the Kirov, Vilzak and Schollar (she danced with Nijinsky) and I felt they helped me feel the real influence of the Russian dancers.

[@brendaannedufaur6244]

very beautiful comment rowdie

[@lindildeev5721]

Well, I think Bruce Lee was more the Nijinski of martial arts. He was an actor and a martial artist, nothing more and he had a horrible Diaghilev named Wei Lo. Rudolf was more like Jackie Chan, he was totally independent, he was a dancer, a choreographer but also an actor, a film director (he did Don Quixote in 1973 and Giselle in 1979) and a conductor.

+Shortypants1215 I wish I had been more conscious of his greatness when he was still alive. Unfortunately, my head was in another space. Pity because I did see him perform twice, the last time in '71. Still in his prime.

[@ReadingIsLife1908]

I think that although he accomplished his dream of becoming world renowned he carries the sadness of leaving his country, his family and his friends. I don’t think he he ever got over that.

Hovering between shyness and exuberance like Freddie Mercury, who met the same fate, unfortunately.

[@judithhand4987]

Yes, he reminds me somewhat of Freddie. I wasn't looking for that similarity, but there it is. I've adored Nureyev since I was a girl and first saw him on t.v. I was astounded by his ability and decided that he was one of the most beautiful men around. I saw him in New York and saw him last in Daytona Beach where, sadly, he danced badly and let out huge coughs as soon as he left the stage. I don't like to say this, but it's so. And, as another commenter said, he died from the same disease as Freddie Mercury, dying 2 years after him. For both, the focus on what we can watch is the pleasure they'd wish us to have. Sad, his family being in Russia. We've a President so friendly with them, yet a beautiful artist like Nureyev couldn't visit or bring his family to London, France or wherever. Crazy!! Sad...

Mercury and Nureyev were lovers before Freddie’s death. Nureyev has called Freddie, “The perfect lover”.

I am watching this after viewing the movie ,The White Crow which was a film about his life.
