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.

More quotes by Damien Hirst
I can't understand why most people believe in medicine and don't believe in art, without questioning either.
Damien Hirst
I just do what everybody asks me to do, in terms of media and stuff.
Damien Hirst
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
Great art - or good art - is when you look at it, experience it and it stays in your mind. I don't think conceptual art and traditional art are all that different.
Damien Hirst
I'm 43. I'm not ready to sit down in a chair with my name on it yet.
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 just hope that I can be kind of like the Beatles. I really like that kind of model. I like the way that without losing integrity they could change through fashion and not look back at the '60s and vomit when they saw what they'd done.
Damien Hirst
I think money is important for everyone, because the lack of it is so painful.
Damien Hirst
I don't think I'd want my pet in formaldehyde, but I guess in America they would.
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
It's such a crass idea - you're either in love or out of love.
Damien Hirst
A painting probably is the most shocking increase in value, from what it costs to make to what you sell it for.
Damien Hirst
I think as an artist you have to reinvent yourself every day.
Damien Hirst
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
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
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
I did a load of medicine cabinets a long time ago and I named them after Sex Pistols songs. I suppose I must be getting old if I'm naming work after Philip Larkin poems.
Damien Hirst
You have to step over the boundaries sometimes just to find out where theyare.
Damien Hirst
I liked The Beatles a lot when I was growing up.
Damien Hirst
When we are no longer children, we are already dead.
Damien Hirst
