When you've just done it, you're not sure. But when you've sat with it for a couple of hours and you don't want to do anything more to it, that's a great feeling. It can stand on its own two feet.

More quotes by 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
I believe all painting and art should be uplifting for the viewer.
Damien Hirst
As an artist, you don't stop making art because people are not buying it.
Damien Hirst
I sometimes feel that I have nothing to say and I want to communicate this.
Damien Hirst
I like the confusion you get between science and religion … that’s where belief lies and art as well.
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
The idea is more important than the object.
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
It's amazing what you can do with an E in A-Level art, a twisted imagination and a chainsaw.
Damien Hirst
I think as an artist you have to reinvent yourself every day.
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 don't really have a career plan.
Damien Hirst
The best spot painting you can have by me is one painted by Rachel.
Damien Hirst
If the choice is between buying another building or a Pollock, I'd go for the Pollock every time.
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
But then architects don't build their own houses.
Damien Hirst
I have always been aware that you have to get people listening before you can change their minds. Any artist's big fear is being ignored, so if you get debate, that's great.
Damien Hirst
As soon as something becomes art I think you get over the fear
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 think money is important for everyone, because the lack of it is so painful.
Damien Hirst
