More quotes by Damien Hirst
I think suicide is the most perfect thing you can do in life.
Damien Hirst
I can’t wait to get into a position to make really bad art and get away with it.
Damien Hirst

Damien Hirst
I always ignore money.
Damien Hirst
I just do what everybody asks me to do, in terms of media and stuff.

Great art - or good art - is when you look at it, experience it and it stays in your mind. I don't think conceptual art and traditional art are all that different.
Damien Hirst
I believe all painting and art should be uplifting for the viewer.
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

Damien Hirst
The best spot painting you can have by me is one painted by Rachel.
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

Damien Hirst
It's such a crass idea - you're either in love or out of love.
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
I wanted a shark that's big enough to eat you, and in a large enough amount of liquid so that you could imagine you were in there with it.
Damien Hirst
I think money is important for everyone, because the lack of it is so painful.
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 liked The Beatles a lot when I was growing up.
Damien Hirst
I don't think I'd want my pet in formaldehyde, but I guess in America they would.
Damien Hirst
The idea is more important than the object.
Damien Hirst
