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.

America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.

As a young child my attention span was, as I remember it, rather short.

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