More quotes by Tracey Emin
I have hardly any friends who aren't gay
Tracey Emin
I don't ask for an apology because it's only tomorrow's fish-and-chip paper.
Tracey Emin
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
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.
Tracey Emin
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
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.
Tracey Emin
Strolling on the plateau of life, desperate for the mountain, I never thought that I would get this far. It's only art that has carried me through, given me faith in my own existence. But now I am approaching a point in my life where I desire more.
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.
Tracey Emin
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
People don't remember. Revenge is sweet.
Tracey Emin
They grew really quickly. One minute I didn't have any tits and the next I had the biggest tits in the world.
Tracey Emin
There's so much stuff said about me that's not true, so now if something is hurtful and wrong, I send an e-mail or letter immediately, saying, This is not true.
Tracey Emin
Art is like a lover whom you run away from but who comes back and picks you up.
Tracey Emin
It's my memory, and what happened between that moment 10 or 15 years ago and now, there's a lot of gray area
Tracey Emin
I've been slagged off completely by the art world and I don't know whether fancy being slagged off by the literary world as well. It's just too much.
Tracey Emin
The soul will always do what it needs to do.
Tracey Emin
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.
Tracey Emin
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
I found that life has to be edited to continue.
Tracey Emin
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
