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.

When you don't have children you have to define and make your own purpose, and make your own reason for being here.

I'd make a good friend, not mother. I'm too selfish. I think a lot of mothers are selfish and they end up having children, but I don't want to put some small tiny person through that.

It is always fragile, being a parent.

I would've done anything to work with Satyajit Ray.

If you're not having a good time, find something else that gives you some joy in life.
