If We Go For The Easy Way,

Even Now, I Have Traces Of The Good Little Girl. When I Am Not Performing, For Instance, I Am Really Very Quiet And Ordinary.

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.

There's Nothing More Tragic Than Artists From The 70s Still Doing Art From The 70s.

I Had To Leave Some Traces. In The Beginning, I Would Give Complete Instructions To The Photographer. In The '70s, People Would Come To Photograph Your Work And You Would Just End Up With This Crazy Material That Had Nothing To Do With Your Work; Maybe I'd Pick Up Two Or Three Photographs That Were The Closest To The Idea. This Is Why When You Look At The '70s, You See Much Less Documentation And Really Bad Material. The Material Will Become Misleading To What The Piece Was.

You Know How You Feel Somebody Looking At You, And You Turn, And Somebody Actually Is? It's The Same At An Art Gallery. You're Looking At One Portrait, Turn Around, And There Is A Work Of Art Directly Behind You. Because It's All Energy. Every Single Thing Has Energy.
