"I ate a raw onion every day for a year as part of a spiritual cleansing ritual."

"The body is just a temporary container. I want to push it to its absolute limits before it expires."

"The public is necessary for my work. Without the public, I don't exist."

"I want to make art that is a testament to the power of the human spirit."

"I want to transcend the physical body and reach a higher state of consciousness."
