More quotes by Damien Hirst
I sometimes feel that I have nothing to say and I want to communicate this.
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
There's always something you missed or something you didn't notice or somehow you got wrong... I don't really have a beginning.
Damien Hirst
I think suicide is the most perfect thing you can do in life.
Damien Hirst
You have to step over the boundaries sometimes just to find out where theyare.
Damien Hirst
I think I've always been afraid of painting, really. Right from the beginning. All my paintings are about painting without a painter. Like a kind of mechanical form of painting. Like finding some imaginary computer painter, or a robot who paints.
Damien Hirst
Immortality is really desirable, I guess. In terms of images, anyway.
Damien Hirst
Buy art, build a museum, put your name on it, let people in for free. That's as close as you can get to immortality.
Damien Hirst
I liked The Beatles a lot when I was growing up.
Damien Hirst
I always ignore money.
Damien Hirst
It's ridiculous what I do. I can't believe in it - but I have to.
Damien Hirst
I think as an artist you have to reinvent yourself every day.
Damien Hirst
A painting probably is the most shocking increase in value, from what it costs to make to what you sell it for.
Damien Hirst
I can't wait to get into a position to make really bad art and get away with it. At the moment if I did certain things people would look at it, consider it and then say f off. But after a while you can get away with things.
Damien Hirst
As a father, I would say I am more like a mother. I do a lot of hugging.
Damien Hirst
But I think it's more that when you're young, you're invincible, you're immortal - or at least you think you are. The possibilities are limitless, you're inventing the future. Then you get older and suddenly you have a history. It's fixed. You can't change anything. I find that a bit disturbing, to be honest.
Damien Hirst
As soon as something becomes art I think you get over the fear
Damien Hirst
I love art. It is uplifting.
Damien Hirst
The idea is more important than the object.
Damien Hirst
When I used to do abstract paintings at school, like everyone else, the tutor said these would make great curtains. I would always neglect the formal stuff that was going on by using colour, because colour kind of came naturally to me.
Damien Hirst
