Art is like a lover whom you run away from but who comes back and picks you up.
Tracey Emin
Image
The soul will always do what it needs to do.

Image
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
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.

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
Image
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.

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'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
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
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
Image
There should be something revelatory about art. It should be totally creative and open doors for new thoughts and experiences.
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.
Tracey Emin
Image
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
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
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
Image
I don't ask for an apology because it's only tomorrow's fish-and-chip paper.
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
Image
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
Image
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.
