More quotes by Damien Hirst
Being best is a false goal, you have to measure success on your own terms.
Damien Hirst
Since I was a child, death is definitely something that I think about every day. But I think that everybody does. You try and avoid it, but it's such a big thing that you can't.
Damien Hirst
As soon as something becomes art I think you get over the fear
Damien Hirst
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.
Damien Hirst
It'd be nice to make lots of money but it's quite difficult, because every time I make lots of money I make a bigger piece that costs lots of money.
Damien Hirst
I liked The Beatles a lot when I was growing up.
Damien Hirst
I think suicide is the most perfect thing you can do in life.
Damien Hirst
When we are no longer children, we are already dead.
Damien Hirst
But then architects don't build their own houses.
Damien Hirst
I sometimes feel that I have nothing to say and I want to communicate this.
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
Immortality is really desirable, I guess. In terms of images, anyway.
Damien Hirst
I wanted a shark that's big enough to eat you, and in a large enough amount of liquid so that you could imagine you were in there with it.
Damien Hirst
Artists are like everybody else.
Damien Hirst
It's such a crass idea - you're either in love or out of love.
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.
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
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.
Damien Hirst
As a father, I would say I am more like a mother. I do a lot of hugging.
Damien Hirst
I think as an artist you have to reinvent yourself every day.
Damien Hirst
