I don't know anything about the afterlife because I haven't been there yet.

Dali Lama said, 'when you open the heart of the person with humor, you can tell him the most truth. But if you tell him truth without humor, the heart closes.'

From the very early stage when I started doing performance art in the '70s, the general attitude - not just me, but also my colleagues - was that there should not be any documentation, that the performance itself is artwork and there should be no documentation.

For me, the most difficult piece is the one I'm about to make.

If we consider art as oxygen in our society, we have to deliver this oxygen.

I've always asked myself since I was young, what is my duty on this planet? What am I there for? Just to hang around? Everybody must have some purpose.

Even now, I have traces of the good little girl. When I am not performing, for instance, I am really very quiet and ordinary.
