More quotes by Damien Hirst
I can’t wait to get into a position to make really bad art and get away with it.
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
Painting is so poetic, while sculpture is more logical and scientific and makes you worry about gravity.
Damien Hirst
I believe all painting and art should be uplifting for the viewer.
Damien Hirst
As soon as something becomes art I think you get over the fear
Damien Hirst
I just do what everybody asks me to do, in terms of media and stuff.
Damien Hirst

But for me, from my point of view, I don't mind if it falls over... if you break the glass you replace the glass, if the sheep falls out you can always get a new sheep.

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
I was brought up Catholic, and I felt the power of art from a very young age - seeing the brutality of all those images of flayed apostles and tortured saints was a pretty strong introduction.
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
As an artist, you don't stop making art because people are not buying it.
Damien Hirst
When we are no longer children, we are already dead.
Damien Hirst
It'd be nice to make lots of money but it's quite difficult, because every time I make lots of money I make a bigger piece that costs lots of money.
Damien Hirst
You have to step over the boundaries sometimes just to find out where theyare.
Damien Hirst
Art goes on in your head. If you said something interesting, that might be a title for a work of art and I'd write it down.
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 think suicide is the most perfect thing you can do in life.
Damien Hirst
As a father, I would say I am more like a mother. I do a lot of hugging.
Damien Hirst
