I realise the power of art that does not hang on the walls of galleries.

We don't have politicians with dignity and morals. We never have, not since [Nelson] Mandela and [Mahatma ] Gandhi. It's really rare.

I am only interested in the ideas that become obsessive and make me feel uneasy. The ideas that I'm afraid of.

People put so much effort into starting a relationship and so little effort into ending one.

The most revolutionary ideas are not sellable, but only mind-changing.

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.

What you get is the opening of your mind. I'm not preaching any new religion; I'm ritualizing everyday activities. You drink the water. You count the rice. You sit in Crystal Cave. You lie in Levitation Chamber. You push yourself to a new level.
