Performance has to be mainstream art. This is what I'm fighting for.
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
For me, the most difficult piece is the one I'm about to make.
Marina Abramovic
