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.

More quotes by Marina Abramovic
The only way to change consciousness and the world around us is to start with yourself.
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
Talking about performance is such a strange thing because it's so immaterial. We are talking about soft matter. We are talking about something that is invisible. You can't see it. You can't touch it. You just can feel it.
Marina Abramovic
But what is art other than revealing human nature?
Marina Abramovic
My work is immaterial. It's not painting, it's not sculpture, it's emotions. I'm giving you something to experience yourself.
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.
Marina Abramovic
We, performers, work on willpower. This willpower works in a short term, not durational.
Marina Abramovic
I don't know anything about the afterlife because I haven't been there yet.
Marina Abramovic
I never say Serbia. I always say I come from a country that no longer exists.
Marina Abramovic
Americans don't like European movies.
Marina Abramovic
There's nothing more tragic than artists from the 70s still doing art from the 70s.
Marina Abramovic
We wanted to prove that I am not just a provocateur, as the television said [referring to a Fox news clip shown in the film]. It's challenging, but it's not just challenging.
Marina Abramovic
The hardest thing to do is something that is close to nothing.
Marina Abramovic
Today, our attention is less than the television advertisement. We're looking at six or seven problems constantly. We're living in the disturbed societies of cities. I think modern technology is one of the worst things human beings have invented.
Marina Abramovic
In my work I have complete control, but about my life, I don't want to.
Marina Abramovic
In every ancient culture, there are rituals to mortify the body as a way of understanding that the energy of the soul is indestructible.
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
Western culture has more need because they're so much more degenerated. They're so much more hurt, and misbalanced completely.
Marina Abramovic
I just want to create situations where people forget time.
Marina Abramovic
When Lady Gaga says I am her inspiration, you reach kids between 12 and 18. Now I am like a brand - jeans, Coca-Cola.
