More quotes by Marina Abramovic

Marina Abramovic
My memoirs are full of humor, I had to change jokes because it was a little too dark.

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
When you have a nonverbal conversation with a total stranger, then he cant cover himself with words, he cant create a wall.
Marina Abramovic
Performance has to be mainstream art. This is what I'm fighting for.
Marina Abramovic
Even now, I have traces of the good little girl. When I am not performing, for instance, I am really very quiet and ordinary.
Marina Abramovic
I have always staged my fears as a way to transcend them.
Marina Abramovic
Cancer is an emotional disease.
