More quotes by Damien Hirst
When we are no longer children, we are already dead.
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
Being best is a false goal, you have to measure success on your own terms.
Damien Hirst
I don't really have a career plan.
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
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
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
A painting probably is the most shocking increase in value, from what it costs to make to what you sell it for.
Damien Hirst
The best spot painting you can have by me is one painted by Rachel.
Damien Hirst
But then architects don't build their own houses.
Damien Hirst
I sometimes feel that I have nothing to say and I want to communicate this.
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
Artists are like everybody else.
Damien Hirst
I always ignore money.
Damien Hirst
I have titles floating around in my head I have sculptures floating around in my head. It's like a collage.
Damien Hirst
It's such a crass idea - you're either in love or out of love.
Damien Hirst
You've got to be able to copy things faithfully before you can deviate.
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
As an artist, you don't stop making art because people are not buying it.
Damien Hirst
You've got to be oblivious to other people, the push and pull of other people's opinions, the way other people measure success. It's then that you realize you are 100 percent who you are and you have to use that who-you-are 100 percent in order to create great things.
Damien Hirst
