More quotes by 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.

Dali Lama said, 'when you open the heart of the person with humor, you can tell him the most truth. But if you tell him truth without humor, the heart closes.'
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 say we don't need art in nature, because it's so perfect without us. We need it in the cities. But the cities have absolutely lost their own center. They think having ten cars and a big bridge is the way to happiness. It's not.
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
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.

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
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
I just want to create situations where people forget time.
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
Your ego can become an obstacle to your work. If you start believing in your greatness, it is the death of your creativity.
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
My memoirs are full of humor, I had to change jokes because it was a little too dark.

Galás is a great artist with a very powerful voice.
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 think if people raise their consciousness and find a purpose, everybody will be helped.
Marina Abramovic
We're destroying the planet, and the planet rebels.
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
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 believe that life is shorter that is why we have to make experience longer.
