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.

The idea is more important than the object.
Damien Hirst

I like the confusion you get between science and religion … that’s where belief lies and art as well.
Damien Hirst
Image
Because it's visual art, a lot of it comes from childhood experience but then a lot comes from the visual language - in advertising and stuff like that - which is around us.
Damien Hirst

As an artist you're looking for universal triggers. You want it both ways. You want it to have an immediate impact, and you want it to have deep meanings as well. I'm striving for both. But I hate it when people write things that sound like they've swallowed a f... dictionary.

You've really got to get down on the floor with yourself and get low in order to make great art. I think you've just got to accept who you are and do the most unbelievable things.

I love art. It is uplifting.

I always ignore money.
Damien Hirst
Image
As soon as something becomes art I think you get over the fear
Damien Hirst
Image
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
Image
Never let money get in the way of an idea
Damien Hirst
Image
Being best is a false goal, you have to measure success on your own terms.
Damien Hirst
Image
If the choice is between buying another building or a Pollock, I'd go for the Pollock every time.
Damien Hirst
Image
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 always feel like the art's there and I just see it, so it's not really a lot of work.
Damien Hirst
Image
I can't understand why most people believe in medicine and don't believe in art, without questioning either.
