More quotes by Damien Hirst
I think money is important for everyone, because the lack of it is so painful.
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
It's amazing what you can do with an E in A-Level art, a twisted imagination and a chainsaw.
Damien Hirst
As soon as something becomes art I think you get over the fear
Damien Hirst
Artists are like everybody else.
Damien Hirst
As an artist, you don't stop making art because people are not buying it.
Damien Hirst
I have titles floating around in my head I have sculptures floating around in my head. It's like a collage.

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

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 love art. It is uplifting.
Damien Hirst
I was brought up Catholic, and I felt the power of art from a very young age - seeing the brutality of all those images of flayed apostles and tortured saints was a pretty strong introduction.
Damien Hirst
When we are no longer children, we are already dead.
Damien Hirst
I can't understand why most people believe in medicine and don't believe in art, without questioning either.
Damien Hirst
I don't really have a career plan.
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.
