I always ignore money.
Damien Hirst
Image
I sometimes feel that I have nothing to say and I want to communicate this.
Damien Hirst
Image
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
Image
I think suicide is the most perfect thing you can do in life.
Damien Hirst
Image
I have titles floating around in my head I have sculptures floating around in my head. It's like a collage.
Damien Hirst
Image
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
Image
Buy art, build a museum, put your name on it, let people in for free. That's as close as you can get to immortality.

Artists are like everybody else.
