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.

They look at someone like me, and I just really get up their nose. I really wind them up.

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.

I've always been very determined, ever since I was a little girl, to make my way.

We define ourselves as intelligent. That's odd, because we're doing the definition - We're creating our own definition and saying, 'We are intelligent!'

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