In every culture, [there are those] shamans or medicine men who endured incredible physical pain, because it's a door opening to the subconsciousness. And the way we can actually control the pain -- it's how to control everything. This is the key.

Marina Abramovic
I say we don't need art in nature, because it's so perfect without us. We need it in the cities. But the cities have absolutely lost their own center. They think having ten cars and a big bridge is the way to happiness. It's not.
Marina Abramovic
We always want to do things the way we like, that's why we never change.
Marina Abramovic
If you're a baker, making bread, you're a baker. If you make the best bread in the world, you're not an artist, but if you bake the bread in the gallery, you're an artist. So the context makes the difference.
Marina Abramovic
A great artist has to be ready to fail.
Marina Abramovic
An artist should not fall in love with another artist.
Marina Abramovic
Every party is the same, too many people, too little food, and you have to wait around. I'm extremely bored with parties.
Marina Abramovic
Being an artist is not easy - I have always said that to the students I have taught over the years. It's a huge sacrifice.
