People try constantly to use me and I hate it.

People don't remember. Revenge is sweet.
Tracey Emin

If I were really, truly in love with someone who was truly in love with me, then I would get married, but that would be the only reason I'd get married.

The soul will always do what it needs to do.

I really love animals. My cat is my little soul mate. He's not just a cat, he's my friend.
Tracey Emin
Image
I've worked really hard. I've made three pieces of seminal art in my life. If I died tomorrow, I'd be remembered for making them. There are a lot of artists who, no matter how hard they work in their lives, will never make anything seminal.

What's really good about the word 'art' is that 'art' is a word like 'love,' or 'god,' or whatever. It transcends so many things.
Tracey Emin
Image
The words went round and round and round in my mind and my body, until I knew they were no longer my words but something that had been carved into my heart. And now my soul was crying.
Tracey Emin

I've never been married because, first of all, I don't think I've ever seriously been asked by anyone who I wanted to marry. [...] And also I'm monogamous.

If I didn't want to work for a couple of years I wouldn't have to - it's a great feeling, to know I'm doing it because I want to do it.
Tracey Emin

There is nothing difficult about my work, and people get to hear it from me.
Tracey Emin
Image
I had become conscious of my physicality, aware of my presence and open to the ugly truths of the world. At the age of thirteen, I realised that there was a danger in innocence and beauty, and I could not live with both.
Tracey Emin

I found that life has to be edited to continue.

The reason why I'm popular as an artist in this country is because it suits the psyche of the nation at this time. Ten years ago, my work wouldn't have had any currency, any popularity at all. Before in this country, you had to be accepted. You had to be part of the group. Now it's probably more trendy to have a problem.

I'm not trying to find another thing that's wrong with me, but I'm such a nice person, and I have a couple of drinks and I'm really good fun and then I'm really not fun
Tracey Emin
Image
There is no comparison between him and me he developed a whole new way of making art and he's clearly in a league of his own. It would be like making comparisons with Warhol.
Tracey Emin
Image
I feel physically ill if I don't make work, I don't create. I don't feel very good. I don't feel right, I feel wrong.
Tracey Emin
Image
All the mistakes I've ever made in my life have been when I've been drunk. I haven't made hardly any mistakes sober, ever, ever.
Tracey Emin
Image
I want to spend my life with someone and do nice things and go on adventures, read books and have nice food and celebrate things. I don't want to spend the rest of my life in the bedroom like some people who just go to bed and never get out again.

They grew really quickly. One minute I didn't have any tits and the next I had the biggest tits in the world.
