In Every Culture, [there Are Those] Shamans

Being An Artist Is Not Easy - I Have Always Said That To The Students I Have Taught Over The Years. It's A Huge Sacrifice.

You See, What Is My Purpose Of Performance Artist Is To Stage Certain Difficulties And Stage The Fear The Primordial Fear Of Pain, Of Dying, All Of Which We Have In Our Lives, And Then Stage Them In Front Of Audience And Go Through Them And Tell The Audience, I'm Your Mirror; If I Can Do This In My Life, You Can Do It In Yours.

Time Is An Illusion. Time Only Exists When We Think About The Past And The Future. Time Doesn't Exist In The Present Here And Now.

Television Is Completely Another Medium. For Me, Lady Gaga And Hbo Are Bringing Us To Mass Culture.

Performance Has To Be Mainstream Art. This Is What I'm Fighting For.
