More quotes by Marina Abramovic
All my inspiration comes from life. That's how it never stops, in a way.
Marina Abramovic
I have found that long durational art is really the key to changing consciousness. On such a deep level. Not just the performer, but the one looking at it.
Marina Abramovic
I have always staged my fears as a way to transcend them.
Marina Abramovic
In every ancient culture, there are rituals to mortify the body as a way of understanding that the energy of the soul is indestructible.

Talking about [Donald] Trump, there's nothing wrong with Trump. He's who he is. It's wrong with us, who let him [win]. That's what's wrong. It's not that he's going to change, but the people who think like him.

Art comes from life, not from the studio
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
With classical ballet you are literally injuring yourself.
Marina Abramovic
It's very important that young artists push boundaries, because sometimes you have this urge to do something - like the impulsive and dangerous urges I had as a child - and if you don't follow through with it you might miss out on a developmental experience.
Marina Abramovic
I didn't get paid for performances most of my life. If I did, I would be billionaire now, and I'm not.
Marina Abramovic
Happiness comes from the full understanding of your own being.
Marina Abramovic
Time is an illusion. Time only exists when we think about the past and the future. Time doesn't exist in the present here and now.
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
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
Talking about performance is such a strange thing because it's so immaterial. We are talking about soft matter. We are talking about something that is invisible. You can't see it. You can't touch it. You just can feel it.
Marina Abramovic
First of all, to do performance art, you really have to give 100 percent. I only know that I have to give 100 percent and then what happens, happens.
Marina Abramovic
