I am pure performance, and Robert Wilson is pure theater.

An artist should not fall in love with another artist.

We wanted to prove that I am not just a provocateur, as the television said [referring to a Fox news clip shown in the film]. It's challenging, but it's not just challenging.

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

The brother of my grandfather was the patriarch of the Orthodox Church and revered as a saint. So everything in my childhood is about total sacrifice, whether to religion or to communism. This is what is engraved on me. This is why I have this insane willpower. My body is now beginning to be falling apart, but I will do it to the end. I don't care. With me it is about whatever it takes.

Performance has to be mainstream art. This is what I'm fighting for.

From the moment you are born, you could die. I think as an artist it is important to meditate on that.
