More quotes by 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
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
Immortality is really desirable, I guess. In terms of images, anyway.
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 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

Damien Hirst
It's ridiculous what I do. I can't believe in it - but I have to.
Damien Hirst

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
Picasso, Michelangelo, possibly, might be verging on genius, but I don't think a painter like Rembrandt is a genius.
Damien Hirst
When you've just done it, you're not sure. But when you've sat with it for a couple of hours and you don't want to do anything more to it, that's a great feeling. It can stand on its own two feet.
Damien Hirst
I think suicide is the most perfect thing you can do in life.
Damien Hirst
I always ignore money.
Damien Hirst
I don't really have a career plan.
Damien Hirst
I can't understand why most people believe in medicine and don't believe in art, without questioning either.
Damien Hirst
I like the confusion you get between science and religion … that’s where belief lies and art as well.
Damien Hirst
