Do you know what a showmance is? It is like being at a summer camp when you’re a teenager. You spend summertime away from your home. When you spend three months very closely with someone at a particular place, it is like a summer love. You have no choice but to get involved with that person. Maksim Chmerkovskiy Read Quote
Listen, I’m a sweet guy. I’m just intense at work. I have nothing but the end result in mind. My entire career has been like that. Maksim Chmerkovskiy Read Quote
My grandma and my mom are not happy about the fact that I am still a bachelor. It’s not on my mind that I have to find the person I’m going to spend the rest of my life with. It will happen the way it’s going to happen. Maksim Chmerkovskiy Read Quote
There’s no better exercise than dancing. ‘Dancing with the Stars’ is amazing. I used to take it for granted, but the three months you spend on the show, with that grueling regimen, you just shed weight. You can eat anything you want and it doesn’t stick. Maksim Chmerkovskiy Read Quote
I look for someone whose upbringing was somewhat similar to mine because they can understand me – love for the family and everything else. You see someone’s relationship with their parents, and you realize what that person’s going to be like as a parent. Maksim Chmerkovskiy Read Quote
I spent my entire childhood with my father. I started my first business at 16, and we became business partners. He’s not just a mentor and somebody that I look up to, but he’s also someone whom I took work ethic and determination and all of those qualities from. Maksim Chmerkovskiy Read Quote
I would definitely want kids. Would they be dancers? I dunno. That’s up to them. If they show interest, I will push them do the best. I was not brought up in a dancer’s family. I was brought up in a family where the mentality was whatever you do, you gotta try to be the best at it. Maksim Chmerkovskiy Read Quote
Dancing has been in us, in people, since the Neanderthal age. There’s something about moving, something about interpreting yourself to the music, that’s attractive, that’s interesting, that’s intriguing, and everyone wishes they could do that. Maksim Chmerkovskiy Read Quote
I am a hopeless romantic who falls in lust and gets in trouble. I love my work and am very productive, yet I always find time to play. Maksim Chmerkovskiy Read Quote
As a dancer, obviously, we are all inspired by Michael Jackson, and I always looked up to Gene Kelly. He was a bigger version of Fred Astaire, and he was amazing as well. Maksim Chmerkovskiy Read Quote
