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
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
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 sometimes feel that I have nothing to say and I want to communicate this.
Damien Hirst
Image
You have to step over the boundaries sometimes just to find out where theyare.

As soon as something becomes art I think you get over the fear

When I used to do abstract paintings at school, like everyone else, the tutor said these would make great curtains. I would always neglect the formal stuff that was going on by using colour, because colour kind of came naturally to me.

Picasso, Michelangelo, possibly, might be verging on genius, but I don't think a painter like Rembrandt is a genius.
Damien Hirst
Image
It's ridiculous what I do. I can't believe in it - but I have to.
Damien Hirst
Image
Here's one from me: 'You have to be aware that everyone else is thinking far too hard about themselves to be thinking about you, whoever you are.' If you want it, you can have it. Once you know that, you can be free.

Image
Immortality is really desirable, I guess. In terms of images, anyway.
Damien Hirst
Image
I think money is important for everyone, because the lack of it is so painful.
Damien Hirst

When we are no longer children, we are already dead.

Artists are like everybody else.
Damien Hirst
Image
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.

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.
