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.

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.

I can’t wait to get into a position to make really bad art and get away with it.
Damien Hirst
Image
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
Image
I realised that you couldn't use the tools of yesterday to communicate today's world. Basically, that was the big light that went on in my head.

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
You've got to be able to copy things faithfully before you can deviate.
Damien Hirst
Image
I can't wait to get into a position to make really bad art and get away with it. At the moment if I did certain things people would look at it, consider it and then say f off. But after a while you can get away with things.

I can't understand why most people believe in medicine and don't believe in art, without questioning either.
