Painting is so poetic, while sculpture is more logical and scientific and makes you worry about gravity.
Damien Hirst
Image
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.
Damien Hirst
Image
It's ridiculous what I do. I can't believe in it - but I have to.
Damien Hirst
Image
I don't think I'd want my pet in formaldehyde, but I guess in America they would.
Damien Hirst
Image
I think I've always been afraid of painting, really. Right from the beginning. All my paintings are about painting without a painter. Like a kind of mechanical form of painting. Like finding some imaginary computer painter, or a robot who paints.

As a father, I would say I am more like a mother. I do a lot of hugging.
Damien Hirst
Image
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.

As soon as something becomes art I think you get over the fear
Damien Hirst
Image
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
Image
I think as an artist you have to reinvent yourself every day.
Damien Hirst
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
The idea is more important than the object.
Damien Hirst
Image
As an artist, you don't stop making art because people are not buying it.
Damien Hirst
Image
I have titles floating around in my head I have sculptures floating around in my head. It's like a collage.

But then architects don't build their own houses.
