Performance art is about joy, about making something that's so full of kind of a wild joy that you really can't put into words.
- Laurie Anderson
I'm a performance artist first; I'm a recording artist second.
- Erykah Badu
Everything I have is dirty, but I'm sure I can figure something. Maybe I can make a dress out of a garbage bag. Lady Gaga wore that meat dress to the VMA's, so I should be able to dress in a garbage bag. I'll get black ones, to symbolize my current state of mind. Like performance art of something.
- Lauren Barnholdt
All good performance pieces have some philosophical validity. That's the difference between mere theater and performance art.
- Jack Bowman
A performance art piece is unprecedented. It is difficult to censor since it has a good possibility of never being done before.
- Jack Bowman
Performance art can be produced in a coffee house setting.
- Jack Bowman
We're all so mauled by information, but it's recycled information. We need to shut it out. So, you've got to get bizarre. This is an artist's purpose - to break away from the recycled. Performance art can do that.
- Jack Bowman
Performance art can involve the audience with taste, smell and sounds not available with electronic media and not practical with conventional theater. This is due to the usually small audience.
- Jack Bowman
Performance art is the ultimate in creativity. Since it has so many possibilities at creativity, it's essence tends to become creativity.
- Jack Bowman
That kind of piece, perhaps most recognizable because of Yoko Ono's similar work, built a bridge between performance art and music - and without raising any awkward social issues.
- Tony Conrad
I started using film as part of live theatre performance - what used to be called performance art - and I became intrigued by film.
- Mike Figgis
I was doing these performance art pop music pieces in the city. And they were a bit on the eccentric side I suppose. So people started to call me Gaga after the Queen song 'Radio Gaga.'
- Lady Gaga
HANNAH: Don't let Bernard get to you. It's only performance art, you know. Rhetoric, they used to teach it in ancient times, like PT. It's not about being right, they had philosophy for that. Rhetoric was their chat show. Bernard's indignation is a sort of aerobics for when he gets on television.
- Tom Stoppard
The world is crawling with authors touring now. They're like performance artists.
- Kazuo Ishiguro
We were doing performance art as far back as 1965, just not calling it that.
- Joseph Jarman
If I took a candy bar, ripped off the wrapper, ate the candy bar, and pinned the wrapper to the wall, is that art, performance art, both, or neither?
- Jarod Kintz
A blanket could be considered part of performance art, if you're inconsiderate and steal all the covers while we're asleepand film me shivering and twitching in the night.
- Jarod Kintz
I've worked with actors before where I was like, this is not working, and then I've seen their work on the screen and I've been like, Wow, that was a really great performance. Because there are a lot of elements with film. It's not like stage. It's not a kind of performance art anymore; it's a highly tuned kind of collaboration - a symphony.
- Vincent Kartheiser
It would have to be connected with performance art somehow, either in the front of the house or the back. I was myopic about this from fourth grade on.
- James Marsters
I went to art school for fine art and then I started doing performance art, and then I started making fun of performance art, and it turned into comedy.
- Mary Lynn Rajskub
It's always been performance art, but now it's on a different level.
- Mark Roberts
Politics with me isn't theater. It's performance art. Sometimes, for its own sake.
- Roger Stone
Whereas fiction is a continual discovery of what one wants to say, what one feels, what one means, and is, in that sense, a performance art, biography requires different skills - research and organization.
- Edmund White
Hipsters seek refuge in church, Our Lady of Perpetual Subculture. There is some discussion as to whether or not they are still cool but then they are calmed by the obscure location and the arrival of their kind. Keep the address to yourself, let the rabble fund it themselves. Wow, this crappy performance art is really making me feel no so terrible about my various emotional issues.
