We're destroying the planet, and the planet rebels.
Marina Abramovic
In every culture, [there are those] shamans or medicine men who endured incredible physical pain, because it's a door opening to the subconsciousness. And the way we can actually control the pain -- it's how to control everything. This is the key.
Marina Abramovic
I believe so much in the power of performance I don't want to convince people. I want them to experience it and come away convinced on their own.
Marina Abramovic
I made a tape recording of a bridge collapsing and I wanted to play it suddenly and very loudly when people were walking over a big bridge in Belgrade. The council forbid it. Their imagination is tiny mine is big. I want always to shake everything up.
Marina Abramovic
If you're a baker, making bread, you're a baker. If you make the best bread in the world, you're not an artist, but if you bake the bread in the gallery, you're an artist. So the context makes the difference.
Marina Abramovic
I believe that life is shorter that is why we have to make experience longer.
Marina Abramovic
My work is immaterial. It's not painting, it's not sculpture, it's emotions. I'm giving you something to experience yourself.
Marina Abramovic

An artist should not fall in love with another artist.
Marina Abramovic
A great artist has to be ready to fail.
Marina Abramovic
If you're a woman, it's almost impossible to establish a relationship. You're too much for everybody. It's too much. The woman always has to play this role of being fragile and dependent. And if you're not, they're fascinated by you, but only for a little while. And then they want to change you and crush you. And then they leave.
Marina Abramovic
When you have a nonverbal conversation with a total stranger, then he cant cover himself with words, he cant create a wall.
Marina Abramovic
You know, everyone is always talking about plastic surgery, or the technology, what to do. I really think it's important to help yourself with the technology if you want to feel better, but I am absolutely against any kind of monstrous cuts of the body, lifting that is beyond recognition, this kind of stuff.
Marina Abramovic
You should see ballerinas' feet. They don't have nails. You see beauty, but it's unbelievable pain - with a 40-year pension! That's it, and then life is really finished.
Marina Abramovic
I didn't give any instruction to the video, because it was a new medium. I didn't know what to tell him it was so young. I did the piece and immediately after the piece, I wanted to see the material.
Marina Abramovic
For me, the most difficult piece is the one I'm about to make.
Marina Abramovic
With classical ballet you are literally injuring yourself.
Marina Abramovic
Today, our attention is less than the television advertisement. We're looking at six or seven problems constantly. We're living in the disturbed societies of cities. I think modern technology is one of the worst things human beings have invented.
Marina Abramovic
If we go for the easy way, then we never change.
Marina Abramovic
Most artists create foundations where they put their own work. Here I'm not putting my own work. I'm just creating the chambers.
Marina Abramovic
