More quotes by Damien Hirst
I'm 43. I'm not ready to sit down in a chair with my name on it yet.
Damien Hirst
I have always been aware that you have to get people listening before you can change their minds. Any artist's big fear is being ignored, so if you get debate, that's great.
Damien Hirst
You've got to be able to copy things faithfully before you can deviate.
Damien Hirst
When we are no longer children, we are already dead.
Damien Hirst
It's amazing what you can do with an E in A-Level art, a twisted imagination and a chainsaw.
Damien Hirst
I always ignore money.
Damien Hirst
Immortality is really desirable, I guess. In terms of images, anyway.
Damien Hirst
I can't understand why most people believe in medicine and don't believe in art, without questioning either.
Damien Hirst
Artists are like everybody else.
Damien Hirst
But whenever I look at the question of how to live, the answer's always staring me in the face. I'm already doing it.
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'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
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
I did a load of medicine cabinets a long time ago and I named them after Sex Pistols songs. I suppose I must be getting old if I'm naming work after Philip Larkin poems.
Damien Hirst
The spot paintings, the spin paintings, they're all a mechanical way to avoid the actual guy in a room, myself, with a blank canvas.
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
I realised that you couldn't use the tools of yesterday to communicate today's world. Basically, that was the big light that went on in my head.
Damien Hirst
I can’t wait to get into a position to make really bad art and get away with it.
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
I think suicide is the most perfect thing you can do in life.
Damien Hirst
