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

I am fiercely independent and I probably wouldn't be if it wasn't for the way in which I was brought up.
Tracey Emin

I don't ask for an apology because it's only tomorrow's fish-and-chip paper.
Tracey Emin

I have hardly any friends who aren't gay.
Tracey Emin

I never grew up.

I thought it would be my one and only exhibition, so I decided to call it My Major Retrospective.

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

I'm out of here, I'm better than all of you.
Tracey Emin

I've been slagged off completely by the art world.
Tracey Emin

I've got over so much. Mum wouldn't want anything to come into my life that would make me fragile again.
Tracey Emin

Tracey Emin

It pleases me that people can be interactive.
Tracey Emin

It wasn't so much destroying my dancing, it was destroying me.

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

Maybe I don't believe things myself, as well. Truth is such a transient thing.
Tracey Emin

My mum has never wanted me to have children. She thinks I would be destroying my life, even now.
Tracey Emin

One thing that success has taught me is censorship.
Tracey Emin

People don't remember. Revenge is sweet.
Tracey Emin

People try constantly to use me, and I hate it.
