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.

More quotes by Marina Abramovic
I have found that long durational art is really the key to changing consciousness. On such a deep level. Not just the performer, but the one looking at it.
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
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.

If you're a woman, it's almost impossible to establish a relationship. You're too much for everybody. It's too much. The woman always has to play this role of being fragile and dependent. And if you're not, they're fascinated by you, but only for a little while. And then they want to change you and crush you. And then they leave.
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.

A great artist has to be ready to fail.
Marina Abramovic
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
Most artists create foundations where they put their own work. Here I'm not putting my own work. I'm just creating the chambers.
Marina Abramovic
I had a very difficult relationship with my mother. She used to wake me up in the middle of the night if I wasn't sleeping straight and was messing up the sheets. Now when I stay in hotels I sleep so straight they don't even think I've used the bed.
Marina Abramovic
With classical ballet you are literally injuring yourself.
Marina Abramovic
Most people are more comfortable with what is familiar. I’ve spent my life doing the opposite.
Marina Abramovic
Your ego can become an obstacle to your work. If you start believing in your greatness, it is the death of your creativity.
Marina Abramovic
If we go for the easy way, then we never change.
Marina Abramovic
There's nothing more tragic than artists from the 70s still doing art from the 70s.
Marina Abramovic
I always sent my mother all these huge books I made. When my mother died, I was cleaning her cupboard, and these big books were only 20 pages long. She edited out, maybe burned, every single photograph where I'm naked.
