More quotes by Damien Hirst
It's amazing what you can do with an E in A-Level art, a twisted imagination and a chainsaw.
Damien Hirst
As soon as something becomes art I think you get over the fear
Damien Hirst
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
Immortality is really desirable, I guess. In terms of images, anyway.
Damien Hirst
I can’t wait to get into a position to make really bad art and get away with it.
Damien Hirst
I think I've always been afraid of painting, really. Right from the beginning. All my paintings are about painting without a painter. Like a kind of mechanical form of painting. Like finding some imaginary computer painter, or a robot who paints.
Damien Hirst
I can't wait to get into a position to make really bad art and get away with it. At the moment if I did certain things people would look at it, consider it and then say f off. But after a while you can get away with things.
Damien Hirst
You've got to be able to copy things faithfully before you can deviate.
Damien Hirst
It's ridiculous what I do. I can't believe in it - but I have to.
Damien Hirst

Damien Hirst
When we are no longer children, we are already dead.
Damien Hirst

Damien Hirst
I think as an artist you have to reinvent yourself every day.
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 think suicide is the most perfect thing you can do in life.
Damien Hirst
I always ignore money.
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
Artists are like everybody else.
Damien Hirst
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.
Damien Hirst
The idea is more important than the object.
