Image
I liked The Beatles a lot when I was growing up.
Damien Hirst
Image
I always ignore money.
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
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
Image
Buy art, build a museum, put your name on it, let people in for free. That's as close as you can get to immortality.
Damien Hirst
Image
Picasso, Michelangelo, possibly, might be verging on genius, but I don't think a painter like Rembrandt is a genius.
Damien Hirst
Image
Never let money get in the way of an idea
Damien Hirst
Image
As an artist, you don't stop making art because people are not buying it.
Damien Hirst
Image
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.

Image
Art goes on in your head. If you said something interesting, that might be a title for a work of art and I'd write it down.
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
I love art. It is uplifting.
Damien Hirst
Image
I sometimes feel that I have nothing to say and I want to communicate this.
Damien Hirst
Image
As soon as something becomes art I think you get over the fear
Damien Hirst
Image
It's amazing what you can do with an E in A-Level art, a twisted imagination and a chainsaw.
Damien Hirst
Image
It's such a crass idea - you're either in love or out of love.
Damien Hirst
Image
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
Image
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
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
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.
