I've worked really hard. i've made three pieces of seminal art in my life. if i died tomorrow, i'd be remembered for making them. there are a lot of artists who, no matter how hard they work in their lives, will never make anything seminal.

Art Three Pieces

More From Tracey Emin

The only thing i collect is art. i collect it because i like looking at it. a lot of it is really personal stuff that my friends have made, paintings that my husband's mother made, and things that i bought. i buy abstract art on ebay, and i buy some outsider art on ebay, or what is called folk art, i buy a lot of. i have a lot of professional art work as well as more stuff my friends' kids make. to have a wall of art to look at, i feel really surrounded by love, because so much of the work is related to my friendships.

But the difference between the little pieces and the big pieces - i'm not actually sure which are the little pieces. with some of the big pieces, it's a lot of musical running around, whereas the little pieces, you can say everything you want to say.

Artists make art for themselves. art is an honest expression. artists who pander to their fans by trying to make music "for" their fans make empty, transparent art. the true fan does not want you to make music for them, they want you to make music for you, because that's the whole reason they fell in love with you in the first place.

You don't have wisdom for tomorrow's problems. but you will tomorrow. you don't have resources for tomorrow's needs. but you will tomorrow. you don't have courage for tomorrow's challenges. but you will when tomorrow comes.

In my dreams is a country where the state is the church and the church the people: three in one and one in three. it is a commonwealth in which work is play and play is life: three in one and one in three. it is a temple in which the priest is the worshiper and the worshiper the worshipped: three in one and one in three. it is a godhead in which all life is human and all humanity divine: three in one and one in three.

On good friday jesus died but rose again at eastertide.....lord, teach us to understand that your son died to save us not from suffering but from ourselves, not from injustice...but from being unjust. he died that we might live - but live as he lives, by dying as he died who died to himself.

As you walk down the fairway of life you must smell the roses, for you only get to play one round.

Every day of the year is a good day to think more deeply about good friday, for good friday is the drama of the love by which our every day is sustained.

Black friday is a media trap, an orchestrated mass hallucination based on herd dynamics and the media cycle.

This is the centre of the gospel - this is what the garden of gethsemane and good friday are all about - that god has done astonishing and costly things to draw us near.
