More quotes by 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.

We're destroying the planet, and the planet rebels.
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
Don't even ask me why. I do not know, I have no answer to this insane behaviour.
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.

In every ancient culture, there are rituals to mortify the body as a way of understanding that the energy of the soul is indestructible.

Marina Abramovic
The hardest thing to do is something that is close to nothing.
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
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
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
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.
Marina Abramovic
An artist should not fall in love with another artist.
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
In my work I have complete control, but about my life, I don't want to.
Marina Abramovic
When Lady Gaga says I am her inspiration, you reach kids between 12 and 18. Now I am like a brand - jeans, Coca-Cola.

Zooming in, zooming out. I was shocked. I said, Let's erase this right now, put the camera behind the stage and I'll do the performance just for the camera. He set up everything and I told him to go outside and smoke a cigarette. Come back when I finish. Don't touch the camera. This was the way how I've done most everything after that.
Marina Abramovic
For me, the most difficult piece is the one I'm about to make.
