More quotes by Damien Hirst
I think money is important for everyone, because the lack of it is so painful.
Damien Hirst
But I think it's more that when you're young, you're invincible, you're immortal - or at least you think you are. The possibilities are limitless, you're inventing the future. Then you get older and suddenly you have a history. It's fixed. You can't change anything. I find that a bit disturbing, to be honest.
Damien Hirst
The best spot painting you can have by me is one painted by Rachel.
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
I can't wait to get into a position to make really bad art and get away with it. At the moment if I did certain things people would look at it, consider it and then say f off. But after a while you can get away with things.
Damien Hirst
When we are no longer children, we are already dead.
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 don't think I'd want my pet in formaldehyde, but I guess in America they would.
Damien Hirst
I can’t wait to get into a position to make really bad art and get away with it.
Damien Hirst
You have to step over the boundaries sometimes just to find out where theyare.
Damien Hirst
I liked The Beatles a lot when I was growing up.
Damien Hirst
I love art. It is uplifting.
Damien Hirst
It's such a crass idea - you're either in love or out of love.
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
Immortality is really desirable, I guess. In terms of images, anyway.
Damien Hirst
Never let money get in the way of an idea
Damien Hirst
I don't really have a career plan.
Damien Hirst
Being best is a false goal, you have to measure success on your own terms.
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
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.
Damien Hirst
