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
I didn't get paid for performances most of my life. If I did, I would be billionaire now, and I'm not.
Marina Abramovic
I hate kitchens. I don't understand these enormous American kitchens that take up half the living room and then they just order pizza.
Marina Abramovic
Happiness comes from the full understanding of your own being.
Marina Abramovic
A great artist has to be ready to fail.
Marina Abramovic
I have always staged my fears as a way to transcend them.
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
I'm interested in utopian communities of the past. Many of them didn't survive and I'm examining closely the reasons they failed.

Marina Abramovic
Most people are more comfortable with what is familiar. I’ve spent my life doing the opposite.
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, everyone is always talking about plastic surgery, or the technology, what to do. I really think it's important to help yourself with the technology if you want to feel better, but I am absolutely against any kind of monstrous cuts of the body, lifting that is beyond recognition, this kind of stuff.
Marina Abramovic
If we go for the easy way, then we never change.
Marina Abramovic
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
Cancer is an emotional disease.
Marina Abramovic
The most revolutionary ideas are not sellable, but only mind-changing.
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
Television is completely another medium. For me, Lady Gaga and HBO are bringing us to mass culture.
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
