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
I did a butterfly show in Berlin, and we had a guy who's an expert on butterflies who bred them all and who looks after them all in the space.
Damien Hirst
I believe all painting and art should be uplifting for the viewer.
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.
