More quotes by 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 found that life has to be edited to continue.
Tracey Emin
Maybe I don't believe things myself, as well. Truth is such a transient thing...
Tracey Emin
I have hardly any friends who aren't gay
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
One thing that success has taught me is censorship.
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'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
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 really love animals. My cat is my little soul mate. He's not just a cat, he's my friend.
Tracey Emin
I don't ask for an apology because it's only tomorrow's fish-and-chip paper.
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
It wasn't so much destroying my dancing, it was destroying me
Tracey Emin
There should be something revelatory about art. It should be totally creative and open doors for new thoughts and experiences.
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 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
People try constantly to use me and I hate it.
Tracey Emin
People don't remember. Revenge is sweet.
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
