More quotes by Marina Abramovic
We're destroying the planet, and the planet rebels.
Marina Abramovic
To control the breathing is to control the mind. With different patterns of breathing, you can fall in love, you can hate someone, you can feel the whole spectrum of feelings just by changing your breathing.
Marina Abramovic
If we go for the easy way, then we never change.
Marina Abramovic
I don't know anything about the afterlife because I haven't been there yet.
Marina Abramovic
Even now, I have traces of the good little girl. When I am not performing, for instance, I am really very quiet and ordinary.
Marina Abramovic
When I did Seven Easy Pieces, I actually re-performed the performances of other artists. It was such difficult work because I had to really go through the documentation, look through the sources, to ask the witnesses who saw it.
Marina Abramovic
I hate kitchens. I don't understand these enormous American kitchens that take up half the living room and then they just order pizza.
Marina Abramovic
You know, James Franco is one of the most interesting figures because he has no rules. He breaks all the borders.
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
Every party is the same, too many people, too little food, and you have to wait around. I'm extremely bored with parties.
Marina Abramovic
I'm talking about intellectually and emotionally challenging, but at the same time it's actually not that challenging. So there's this dichotomy.
Marina Abramovic
I believe stories are very important to all performances. The life story of the performer shapes their work, and the life stories of the audience alter how they receive the work, what they read into the performer.
Marina Abramovic
Being an artist is not easy - I have always said that to the students I have taught over the years. It's a huge sacrifice.
Marina Abramovic
I just want to create situations where people forget time.
Marina Abramovic
If you have to do durational work, you have to train! No bullshit. You can't do it for three months. You can do it for five hours, 10 hours, and then you have three months rest. If this is your job, you have to be flexible.
Marina Abramovic
You know the movie Rashomon from [Takeshi] Kurosawa, when all the people in the forest see something different? Each performance was like that.
Marina Abramovic
I've always asked myself since I was young, what is my duty on this planet? What am I there for? Just to hang around? Everybody must have some purpose.
Marina Abramovic
Galás is a great artist with a very powerful voice.
Marina Abramovic
I'm interested in utopian communities of the past. Many of them didn't survive and I'm examining closely the reasons they failed.
Marina Abramovic
I am obsessive always, even as a child. On one side is this strict orthodox religion, on the other is communism, and I am this little girl pulled between the two. It makes me who I am. It turns me into the kind of person that Freud would have a field day with, for sure.
