Benjamin Millepied Interview in "The Daily Beast"

"'I will never be a star,'" said Millepied, who claims to spend his down time reading and "'working a lot by myself at home. When I see the attention movie stars get, it doesn't make me want to be in that position at all.'"

Good, albeit short-ish interview with Millepied in the Daily Beast. It's a Bauhaus tattoo on his midriff In addition to last night's premiere at NYCB, he apparently has another ballet premiering in the Netherlands next week – wow. And he may work with Kanye West.

See the rest of the interview here. They've also got a gallery of male ballet dancers, or "men in tights" rather!

I did see Millepied's Plainspoken last night. Liked but didn't love it. Will write about it as soon as I get a chance – this weekend probably. Today I'm going to see an alternative production of Petrouchka, and tonight a friend's new modern dance piece. Happy Friday everyone!
