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

When I did "Seven Easy Pieces," I actually re-performed the performances of other artists. It was such difficult work because I had to really go through the documentation, look through the sources, to ask the witnesses who saw it.

A powerful performance will transform everyone in the room.

My memoirs are full of humor, I had to change jokes because it was a little too dark.

Today, our attention is less than the television advertisement. We're looking at six or seven problems constantly. We're living in the disturbed societies of cities. I think modern technology is one of the worst things human beings have invented.

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 really like dark, politically incorrect humor.
