More quotes by Marina Abramovic
We, performers, work on willpower. This willpower works in a short term, not durational.
Marina Abramovic
Typically, the performance has a story - a beginning, the crescendo and the end.
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.
Marina Abramovic
An artist has to look at the future, to see what we can do better.
Marina Abramovic
I have always staged my fears as a way to transcend them.
Marina Abramovic
Galás is a great artist with a very powerful voice.

If you have to do durational work, you have to train! No bullshit. You can't do it for three months. You can do it for five hours, 10 hours, and then you have three months rest. If this is your job, you have to be flexible.
Marina Abramovic
When you're 50, the best thing to do is dance the Argentinean tango.
Marina Abramovic

Marina Abramovic
Cancer is an emotional disease.
Marina Abramovic
If you are really true to yourself and really follow your intuition in the most rigorous way, there is a moment that becomes universal, that reaches everybody. That’s the real magic of Björk-she teaches us the courage to be ourselves.
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
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
If you look at the lives of artists, sitting in nature, painting, having the freedom. I think it's over. I think we're living in such a difficult moment of human development. Artists have more responsibility than ever before.
Marina Abramovic
I had so much fear of blood, and the first thing I did was to cut myself to see what happens. That's the only way to rebuild yourself.
Marina Abramovic
I never say Serbia. I always say I come from a country that no longer exists.
Marina Abramovic
You know, art is very emotional business. But mostly it becomes not emotional, the fabric of commodity. It becomes business. It becomes so many different things. Because we forgot there was emotions involved.
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
