More quotes by 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
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
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
The idea is more important than the object.
Damien Hirst
I think money is important for everyone, because the lack of it is so painful.
Damien Hirst
Painting is so poetic, while sculpture is more logical and scientific and makes you worry about gravity.
Damien Hirst
I sometimes feel that I have nothing to say and I want to communicate this.
Damien Hirst
I mean, people listen to music, and they like that, but I think in England, a lot of people don't like contemporary art.
Damien Hirst
I always feel like the art's there and I just see it, so it's not really a lot of work.
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 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
Artists are like everybody else.
Damien Hirst
I'm 43. I'm not ready to sit down in a chair with my name on it yet.
Damien Hirst
As an artist you're looking for universal triggers. You want it both ways. You want it to have an immediate impact, and you want it to have deep meanings as well. I'm striving for both. But I hate it when people write things that sound like they've swallowed a f... dictionary.
Damien Hirst
Never let money get in the way of an idea
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 can't understand why most people believe in medicine and don't believe in art, without questioning either.
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
You've got to be able to copy things faithfully before you can deviate.
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
