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.

More quotes by Damien Hirst
But for me, from my point of view, I don't mind if it falls over... if you break the glass you replace the glass, if the sheep falls out you can always get a new sheep.
Damien Hirst
I've never learned to drive because I get lots of ideas when I'm a passenger in a car. I love to get in a car with a driver and just think and work things out.
Damien Hirst
I think suicide is the most perfect thing you can do in life.
Damien Hirst
The idea is more important than the object.
Damien Hirst
The best spot painting you can have by me is one painted by Rachel.
Damien Hirst
I just do what everybody asks me to do, in terms of media and stuff.
Damien Hirst
I think as an artist you have to reinvent yourself every day.
Damien Hirst
It'd be nice to make lots of money but it's quite difficult, because every time I make lots of money I make a bigger piece that costs lots of money.
Damien Hirst
I don't think I'd want my pet in formaldehyde, but I guess in America they would.
Damien Hirst
I have titles floating around in my head I have sculptures floating around in my head. It's like a collage.
Damien Hirst
You've really got to get down on the floor with yourself and get low in order to make great art. I think you've just got to accept who you are and do the most unbelievable things.
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
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
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
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
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
I'm 43. I'm not ready to sit down in a chair with my name on it yet.
Damien Hirst
I always ignore money.
Damien Hirst
You've got to be oblivious to other people, the push and pull of other people's opinions, the way other people measure success. It's then that you realize you are 100 percent who you are and you have to use that who-you-are 100 percent in order to create great things.
Damien Hirst
It's ridiculous what I do. I can't believe in it - but I have to.
Damien Hirst
