You have to step over the boundaries sometimes just to find out where theyare.
Damien Hirst
Image
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
Image
As a father, I would say I am more like a mother. I do a lot of hugging.
Damien Hirst
Image
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.

I think suicide is the most perfect thing you can do in life.
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.

Picasso, Michelangelo, possibly, might be verging on genius, but I don't think a painter like Rembrandt is a genius.
Damien Hirst
Image
Painting is so poetic, while sculpture is more logical and scientific and makes you worry about gravity.
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
Image
I always feel like the art's there and I just see it, so it's not really a lot of work.
Damien Hirst
Image
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.

As soon as something becomes art I think you get over the fear
Damien Hirst
Image
Never let money get in the way of an idea
Damien Hirst
Image
I just do what everybody asks me to do, in terms of media and stuff.
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
When we are no longer children, we are already dead.
Damien Hirst
Image
It's such a crass idea - you're either in love or out of love.
Damien Hirst
Image
You've got to be able to copy things faithfully before you can deviate.
Damien Hirst
Image
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
Image
I can't understand why most people believe in medicine and don't believe in art, without questioning either.
