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
It's such a crass idea - you're either in love or out of love.
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
I think suicide is the most perfect thing you can do in life.
Damien Hirst
I'm 43. I'm not ready to sit down in a chair with my name on it yet.
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
It's ridiculous what I do. I can't believe in it - but I have to.
Damien Hirst
Since I was a child, death is definitely something that I think about every day. But I think that everybody does. You try and avoid it, but it's such a big thing that you can't.
Damien Hirst
You've got to be able to copy things faithfully before you can deviate.
Damien Hirst
Painting is so poetic, while sculpture is more logical and scientific and makes you worry about gravity.
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
I can't understand why most people believe in medicine and don't believe in art, without questioning either.
Damien Hirst
As an artist, you don't stop making art because people are not buying it.
Damien Hirst
I think as an artist you have to reinvent yourself every day.
Damien Hirst
The spot paintings, the spin paintings, they're all a mechanical way to avoid the actual guy in a room, myself, with a blank canvas.
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 sometimes feel that I have nothing to say and I want to communicate this.
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 don't really have a career plan.
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.
