Talking about performance is such a strange thing because it's so immaterial. We are talking about soft matter. We are talking about something that is invisible. You can't see it. You can't touch it. You just can feel it.

When I was 14, I thought I looked terrible. I wore these typical Slavic shoes with metal bottoms so you could always hear me coming and this really ugly princess skirt and blouse with the top button closed. I had a boy haircut, a baby face covered with pimples, and a really big nose.

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.

I hate kitchens. I don't understand these enormous American kitchens that take up half the living room and then they just order pizza.

True love for whatever you are doing is the answer to everything.

We always think of our own profit, but not in connection to others.

That's something that I'm trying to do in my work, to send a message to western people. They're the ones who are completely disconnected.
