More quotes by Marina Abramovic
Once you live in New York, you can't live anywhere else. Living in Paris is like going in slow motion. It's so bourgeois. I get so bored.
Marina Abramovic
We always want to do things the way we like, that's why we never change.
Marina Abramovic
You should see ballerinas' feet. They don't have nails. You see beauty, but it's unbelievable pain - with a 40-year pension! That's it, and then life is really finished.
Marina Abramovic
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.

When I did Seven Easy Pieces, I actually re-performed the performances of other artists. It was such difficult work because I had to really go through the documentation, look through the sources, to ask the witnesses who saw it.
Marina Abramovic
An artist has to look at the future, to see what we can do better.

When you have so much pain, you think you will lose consciousness. If you say to yourself, ‘So what, lose consciousness,’ the pain goes away.
Marina Abramovic

Marina Abramovic
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.
Marina Abramovic
You know the movie Rashomon from [Takeshi] Kurosawa, when all the people in the forest see something different? Each performance was like that.
Marina Abramovic
You know, James Franco is one of the most interesting figures because he has no rules. He breaks all the borders.
Marina Abramovic
I think if people raise their consciousness and find a purpose, everybody will be helped.
Marina Abramovic
Don't even ask me why. I do not know, I have no answer to this insane behaviour.
Marina Abramovic
When you have a nonverbal conversation with a total stranger, then he cant cover himself with words, he cant create a wall.
Marina Abramovic
I've always asked myself since I was young, what is my duty on this planet? What am I there for? Just to hang around? Everybody must have some purpose.
Marina Abramovic
I really like dark, politically incorrect humor.
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.
Marina Abramovic
The most revolutionary ideas are not sellable, but only mind-changing.
Marina Abramovic
We're destroying the planet, and the planet rebels.
