More quotes by Damien Hirst
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

Damien Hirst
As soon as something becomes art I think you get over the fear
Damien Hirst

Damien Hirst
I can't understand why most people believe in medicine and don't believe in art, without questioning either.

Damien Hirst
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
I don't think I'd want my pet in formaldehyde, but I guess in America they would.
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
I think as an artist you have to reinvent yourself every day.
Damien Hirst
I believe all painting and art should be uplifting for the viewer.
Damien Hirst
Being best is a false goal, you have to measure success on your own terms.
Damien Hirst
Artists are like everybody else.
Damien Hirst
I always ignore money.
