More quotes by Marina Abramovic
When you have so much pain, you think you will lose consciousness. If you say to yourself, ‘So what, lose consciousness,’ the pain goes away.
Marina Abramovic
We wanted to prove that I am not just a provocateur, as the television said [referring to a Fox news clip shown in the film]. It's challenging, but it's not just challenging.
Marina Abramovic
Happiness comes from the full understanding of your own being.

Marina Abramovic
I really like dark, politically incorrect humor.
Marina Abramovic
I always sent my mother all these huge books I made. When my mother died, I was cleaning her cupboard, and these big books were only 20 pages long. She edited out, maybe burned, every single photograph where I'm naked.
Marina Abramovic
Americans don't like European movies.
Marina Abramovic
I don't know anything about the afterlife because I haven't been there yet.
Marina Abramovic
It was incredible, Lady Gaga came to see the piece. She didn't sit with me, but it was all atwitter. Every single kid from 12 to 18 ran to see Lady Gaga and then Lady Gaga left and they stayed. And they stayed another day another day and it created a completely different culture, a different audience that I never had before.
Marina Abramovic
In my work I have complete control, but about my life, I don't want to.
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
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
My grandmother, when she looked at American movies, she said, 'They're all the same. In the first scene somebody shoots somebody and then everybody makes phone calls.'
