Of course I dream to have this perfect man who does not want to change me. And I'm so not marriage material, it's terrible. But my dream is to have those Sunday mornings, where you're eating breakfast and reading newspapers with somebody.

From Marina Abromovic

I don't have tattoos, I have scars!

From Marina Abromovic

When I taught art, I was always asked, 'How do you know you're an artist? What makes you an artist?' And to me, it's like breathing. You don't question if you breathe; you have to breathe. So if you wake up in the morning, and you have to realize an idea, and there's another idea, and another, maybe you are really an artist.

From Marina Abromovic

To be a performance artist, you have to hate theatre. Theatre is fake... The knife is not real, the blood is not real, and the emotions are not real. Performance is just the opposite: the knife is real, the blood is real, and the emotions are real.

From Marina Abromovic

I give people a space to simply sit in silence and communicate with me deeply but non-verbally.

From Marina Abromovic

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.

From Marina Abromovic

When people ask me where I am from, I never say Serbia. I always say I come from a country that no longer exists.

From Marina Abromovic

There's plenty of talented women. Why do men take over the important positions? It's simple. Love, family, children - a woman doesn't want to sacrifice all of that.

From Marina Abromovic

There are good artists that have children. Of course there are. They are called men.

From Marina Abromovic

I had three abortions because I was certain that it would be a disaster for my work.
