I serve like a bridge. I go to other cultures, learn, put myself in different situations and learn as much as I can, and then go to Western cultures to give. I'm doing this bridging all the time.

Marina Abramovic
We don't have politicians with dignity and morals. We never have, not since [Nelson] Mandela and [Mahatma ] Gandhi. It's really rare.

Zooming in, zooming out. I was shocked. I said, Let's erase this right now, put the camera behind the stage and I'll do the performance just for the camera. He set up everything and I told him to go outside and smoke a cigarette. Come back when I finish. Don't touch the camera. This was the way how I've done most everything after that.

I didn't give any instruction to the video, because it was a new medium. I didn't know what to tell him it was so young. I did the piece and immediately after the piece, I wanted to see the material.

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
I had such an intense relationship to every person. I still see people on the street and we lock eyes, and say Oh my god! and we just kiss and stay like that and sometimes cry.
Marina Abramovic
Happiness comes from the full understanding of your own being.
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
All my inspiration comes from life. That's how it never stops, in a way.
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.

Television is completely another medium. For me, Lady Gaga and HBO are bringing us to mass culture.

It was incredible, Lady Gaga came to see the piece. She didn't sit with me, but it was all atwitter. Every single kid from 12 to 18 ran to see Lady Gaga and then Lady Gaga left and they stayed. And they stayed another day another day and it created a completely different culture, a different audience that I never had before.

You know, James Franco is one of the most interesting figures because he has no rules. He breaks all the borders.
