More quotes by Damien Hirst
I just do what everybody asks me to do, in terms of media and stuff.
Damien Hirst
Picasso, Michelangelo, possibly, might be verging on genius, but I don't think a painter like Rembrandt is a genius.
Damien Hirst
I believe all painting and art should be uplifting for the viewer.
Damien Hirst
But I think it's more that when you're young, you're invincible, you're immortal - or at least you think you are. The possibilities are limitless, you're inventing the future. Then you get older and suddenly you have a history. It's fixed. You can't change anything. I find that a bit disturbing, to be honest.
Damien Hirst
As a father, I would say I am more like a mother. I do a lot of hugging.
Damien Hirst
If the choice is between buying another building or a Pollock, I'd go for the Pollock every time.

Damien Hirst
I love art. It is uplifting.
Damien Hirst
As an artist, you don't stop making art because people are not buying it.
Damien Hirst

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
It's amazing what you can do with an E in A-Level art, a twisted imagination and a chainsaw.
Damien Hirst
The best spot painting you can have by me is one painted by Rachel.
Damien Hirst
When we are no longer children, we are already dead.
Damien Hirst
But whenever I look at the question of how to live, the answer's always staring me in the face. I'm already doing it.
Damien Hirst
I liked The Beatles a lot when I was growing up.
Damien Hirst
I think suicide is the most perfect thing you can do in life.
Damien Hirst
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
Being best is a false goal, you have to measure success on your own terms.
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
