Marina Abramovic
An artist has to look at the future, to see what we can do better.
Marina Abramovic
I always do big birthday things. In three years, I'm 70. I'm going to do something outrageous. In America, everyone's always hiding their age.
Marina Abramovic
Why not do something strange and different for once? Artists can do whatever they want!
Marina Abramovic
Most people are more comfortable with what is familiar. I’ve spent my life doing the opposite.

It's very important that young artists push boundaries, because sometimes you have this urge to do something - like the impulsive and dangerous urges I had as a child - and if you don't follow through with it you might miss out on a developmental experience.
Marina Abramovic
