More quotes by Damien Hirst
It's such a crass idea - you're either in love or out of love.
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.

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

Damien Hirst

Damien Hirst
I think as an artist you have to reinvent yourself every day.
Damien Hirst
As an artist, you don't stop making art because people are not buying it.
Damien Hirst
I liked The Beatles a lot when I was growing up.
Damien Hirst
I did a butterfly show in Berlin, and we had a guy who's an expert on butterflies who bred them all and who looks after them all in the space.
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 can't wait to get into a position to make really bad art and get away with it. At the moment if I did certain things people would look at it, consider it and then say f off. But after a while you can get away with things.
