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.

More quotes by Tracey Emin
There should be something revelatory about art. It should be totally creative and open doors for new thoughts and experiences.
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
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
There is nothing difficult about my work, and people get to hear it from me.
Tracey Emin
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
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
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 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 really love animals. My cat is my little soul mate. He's not just a cat, he's my friend.
Tracey Emin
Art is like a lover whom you run away from but who comes back and picks you up.
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
I have hardly any friends who aren't gay
Tracey Emin
One thing that success has taught me is censorship.
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
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 don't ask for an apology because it's only tomorrow's fish-and-chip paper.
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
It wasn't so much destroying my dancing, it was destroying me
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.
