More quotes by Marina Abramovic
The body has an enormous power of healing, if you really believe you are going to be healed, you're going to be healed. If you really believe you're going to die, you're going to die. If you apply this kind of method to everything, then there is hope.

I am not a therapist. I am not a spiritual leader. These elements are in the art: it is therapeutic, spiritual, social and political - everything. It has many layers. But art has to have many layers. If it doesn't, then forget it.
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
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

Marina Abramovic
We, performers, work on willpower. This willpower works in a short term, not durational.
Marina Abramovic
In my work I have complete control, but about my life, I don't want to.
Marina Abramovic
All my inspiration comes from life. That's how it never stops, in a way.
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
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
We don't have politicians with dignity and morals. We never have, not since [Nelson] Mandela and [Mahatma ] Gandhi. It's really rare.
Marina Abramovic
But what is art other than revealing human nature?
Marina Abramovic
The public is in need of experiences that are not just voyeuristic. Our society is in a mess of losing its spiritual centre.
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
I believe that life is shorter that is why we have to make experience longer.
