From Tracey Emin
I certainly don’t have more sex than the general population (10 December, p 23). In fact, I do everything to avoid it. That’s because I don’t want to have sex with most people. I want angels, giants, tigers, and I would love to love myself. As an artist, I work with myself constantly. I don’t think it’s a good idea to have sex with someone you work with. But a lot of male artists do it very successfully – with their wife. As for the schizophrenia, there’s not enough research, but you’re not going to practise on me. I’ve seen films about that kind of stuff.
What was the question? Ask the dogs and the cats in the world and you’ll think they speak the same language. The miaows, the woofs – all on the same side, baby!
As an artist I feel totally sane in this world.
