More quotes by 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
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
Maybe I don't believe things myself, as well. Truth is such a transient thing...
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
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.

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.

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'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
I found that life has to be edited to continue.
Tracey Emin
There should be something revelatory about art. It should be totally creative and open doors for new thoughts and experiences.
Tracey Emin
Art is like a lover whom you run away from but who comes back and picks you up.
Tracey Emin
People don't remember. Revenge is sweet.
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
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
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
I don't ask for an apology because it's only tomorrow's fish-and-chip paper.
Tracey Emin
There is nothing difficult about my work, and people get to hear it from me.
Tracey Emin
I have hardly any friends who aren't gay
Tracey Emin
One thing that success has taught me is censorship.
