More quotes by Tracey Emin
The soul will always do what it needs to do.
Tracey Emin
There should be something revelatory about art. It should be totally creative and open doors for new thoughts and experiences.
Tracey Emin
It wasn't so much destroying my dancing, it was destroying me
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
There are things going on in galleries recently that have shocked me. What I'm going to say is really controversial, but what I find the most provocative is the commerciality of art in general. And the fact that a lot of people have forgotten what the meaning of art is and what the intention behind it is.
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
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'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.
Tracey Emin
Art is like a lover whom you run away from but who comes back and picks you up.
Tracey Emin
All the people in the late '80s and early '90s were really hell-bent on doing something for themselves, and they wouldn't take no for an answer. There was a lot of determination, and I was definitely part of that way of thinking.
Tracey Emin
I really love animals. My cat is my little soul mate. He's not just a cat, he's my friend.
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
People try constantly to use me and I hate it.
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
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 always said if I could own one piece it would be Vermeer's The Love Letter, and if I could put it anywhere it would be in a David Chipperfield building. I'm almost there with the building - Chipperfield is building a new house for me in London. The Vermeer is a long way off.
Tracey Emin
There is nothing difficult about my work, and people get to hear it from me.
Tracey Emin
One thing that success has taught me is censorship.
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
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
