An artist should not fall in love with another artist.
Marina Abramovic
Image
Don't even ask me why. I do not know, I have no answer to this insane behaviour.
Marina Abramovic

I'm talking about intellectually and emotionally challenging, but at the same time it's actually not that challenging. So there's this dichotomy.
Marina Abramovic
Image
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.

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.'

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.
