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
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
An artist has to look at the future, to see what we can do better.

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
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
There's nothing more tragic than artists from the 70s still doing art from the 70s.
Marina Abramovic
Don't even ask me why. I do not know, I have no answer to this insane behaviour.
Marina Abramovic
Why not do something strange and different for once? Artists can do whatever they want!
Marina Abramovic
You know the movie Rashomon from [Takeshi] Kurosawa, when all the people in the forest see something different? Each performance was like that.
Marina Abramovic
The hardest thing to do is something that is close to nothing.
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 think if people raise their consciousness and find a purpose, everybody will be helped.
