My memoirs are full of humor, I had to change jokes because it was a little too dark.
Marina Abramovic
I just want to create situations where people forget time.
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
If we go for the easy way, then we never change.

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
Western culture has more need because they're so much more degenerated. They're so much more hurt, and misbalanced completely.
Marina Abramovic
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
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
I never say Serbia. I always say I come from a country that no longer exists.
Marina Abramovic
I think communication starts when words are not present at all ... I think we put so much emphasis on language, actually silence is so much more important.
Marina Abramovic
An artist should not fall in love with another artist.
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
Why not do something strange and different for once? Artists can do whatever they want!
Marina Abramovic
I believe so much in the power of performance I don't want to convince people. I want them to experience it and come away convinced on their own.
