I think as an artist you have to reinvent yourself every day.
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.
Damien Hirst
Image
You have to step over the boundaries sometimes just to find out where theyare.
Damien Hirst
Image
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.
Damien Hirst
Image
The idea is more important than the object.
Damien Hirst
Image
As a father, I would say I am more like a mother. I do a lot of hugging.

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.

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.

I believe all painting and art should be uplifting for the viewer.

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
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
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 think suicide is the most perfect thing you can do in life.
Damien Hirst
Image
Painting is so poetic, while sculpture is more logical and scientific and makes you worry about gravity.
Damien Hirst
Image
The spot paintings, the spin paintings, they're all a mechanical way to avoid the actual guy in a room, myself, with a blank canvas.
Damien Hirst
Image
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
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 can't understand why most people believe in medicine and don't believe in art, without questioning either.
Damien Hirst
Image
I have titles floating around in my head I have sculptures floating around in my head. It's like a collage.
Damien Hirst
Image
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.
