More quotes by Damien Hirst
I don't think I'd want my pet in formaldehyde, but I guess in America they would.
Damien Hirst
Because it's visual art, a lot of it comes from childhood experience but then a lot comes from the visual language - in advertising and stuff like that - which is around us.
Damien Hirst
The idea is more important than the object.
Damien Hirst
I wanted a shark that's big enough to eat you, and in a large enough amount of liquid so that you could imagine you were in there with it.

Damien Hirst
Never let money get in the way of an idea
Damien Hirst
Artists are like everybody else.
Damien Hirst

Damien Hirst
I always ignore money.
Damien Hirst
Being best is a false goal, you have to measure success on your own terms.
Damien Hirst
When we are no longer children, we are already dead.
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.
