More quotes by Damien Hirst
But then architects don't build their own houses.
Damien Hirst
I always ignore money.
Damien Hirst
I love art. It is uplifting.
Damien Hirst
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
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
As an artist, you don't stop making art because people are not buying it.
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
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.
Damien Hirst
When we are no longer children, we are already dead.
Damien Hirst
Being best is a false goal, you have to measure success on your own terms.
Damien Hirst
As a father, I would say I am more like a mother. I do a lot of hugging.
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 did a butterfly show in Berlin, and we had a guy who's an expert on butterflies who bred them all and who looks after them all in the space.
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
It'd be nice to make lots of money but it's quite difficult, because every time I make lots of money I make a bigger piece that costs lots of money.
Damien Hirst
Painting is so poetic, while sculpture is more logical and scientific and makes you worry about gravity.
Damien Hirst
It's ridiculous what I do. I can't believe in it - but I have to.
Damien Hirst
I think suicide is the most perfect thing you can do in life.
Damien Hirst
Artists are like everybody else.
Damien Hirst
I'm 43. I'm not ready to sit down in a chair with my name on it yet.
