I liked The Beatles a lot when I was growing up.

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

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.

The best spot painting you can have by me is one painted by Rachel.
Damien Hirst
Image
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.

Here's one from me: 'You have to be aware that everyone else is thinking far too hard about themselves to be thinking about you, whoever you are.' If you want it, you can have it. Once you know that, you can be free.

I don't really have a career plan.
Damien Hirst

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

As an artist, you don't stop making art because people are not buying it.
Damien Hirst
Image
I just do what everybody asks me to do, in terms of media and stuff.
Damien Hirst
Image
I sometimes feel that I have nothing to say and I want to communicate this.
Damien Hirst
Image
Never let money get in the way of an idea
Damien Hirst
Image
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.
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
I think as an artist you have to reinvent yourself every day.

I mean, people listen to music, and they like that, but I think in England, a lot of people don't like contemporary art.
