More quotes by Damien Hirst
I just do what everybody asks me to do, in terms of media and stuff.
Damien Hirst
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
Even as a kid in drawing class, I had real ambition. I wanted to be the best in the class, but there was always some other feller who was better so I thought, It cant be about being the best, it has to be about the drawing itself, what you do with it. Thats kind of stuck with me.
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

Damien Hirst
As a father, I would say I am more like a mother. I do a lot of hugging.
Damien Hirst
I like the confusion you get between science and religion … that’s where belief lies and art as well.
Damien Hirst
The best spot painting you can have by me is one painted by Rachel.
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
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
But then architects don't build their own houses.
Damien Hirst
I think suicide is the most perfect thing you can do in life.
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
Never let money get in the way of an idea
