More quotes by Damien Hirst
It's such a crass idea - you're either in love or out of love.
Damien Hirst
It's ridiculous what I do. I can't believe in it - but I have to.
Damien Hirst
Great art - or good art - is when you look at it, experience it and it stays in your mind. I don't think conceptual art and traditional art are all that different.
Damien Hirst
Never let money get in the way of an idea
Damien Hirst
I did a butterfly show in Berlin, and we had a guy who's an expert on butterflies who bred them all and who looks after them all in the space.
Damien Hirst
I just hope that I can be kind of like the Beatles. I really like that kind of model. I like the way that without losing integrity they could change through fashion and not look back at the '60s and vomit when they saw what they'd done.
Damien Hirst
I don't really have a career plan.
Damien Hirst
Here's one from me: 'You have to be aware that everyone else is thinking far too hard about themselves to be thinking about you, whoever you are.' If you want it, you can have it. Once you know that, you can be free.
Damien Hirst
You have to step over the boundaries sometimes just to find out where theyare.
Damien Hirst
If the choice is between buying another building or a Pollock, I'd go for the Pollock every time.
Damien Hirst
Even as a kid in drawing class, I had real ambition. I wanted to be the best in the class, but there was always some other feller who was better so I thought, It cant be about being the best, it has to be about the drawing itself, what you do with it. Thats kind of stuck with me.
Damien Hirst
Picasso, Michelangelo, possibly, might be verging on genius, but I don't think a painter like Rembrandt is a genius.
Damien Hirst
When we are no longer children, we are already dead.
Damien Hirst
I have always been aware that you have to get people listening before you can change their minds. Any artist's big fear is being ignored, so if you get debate, that's great.
Damien Hirst
The idea is more important than the object.
Damien Hirst
I realised that you couldn't use the tools of yesterday to communicate today's world. Basically, that was the big light that went on in my head.
Damien Hirst
As a father, I would say I am more like a mother. I do a lot of hugging.
Damien Hirst
I liked The Beatles a lot when I was growing up.
Damien Hirst
I always feel like the art's there and I just see it, so it's not really a lot of work.
Damien Hirst
It's amazing what you can do with an E in A-Level art, a twisted imagination and a chainsaw.
Damien Hirst
