Happiness comes from the full understanding of your own being.

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.

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.

An artist should not fall in love with another artist.

I always sent my mother all these huge books I made. When my mother died, I was cleaning her cupboard, and these big books were only 20 pages long. She edited out, maybe burned, every single photograph where I'm naked.

Artists should never think of themselves as an idol. Fame is a side effect of one's work.

The hardest thing to do is something that is close to nothing.
