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
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
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
I can’t wait to get into a position to make really bad art and get away with it.
Damien Hirst
It's such a crass idea - you're either in love or out of love.
Damien Hirst
When you've just done it, you're not sure. But when you've sat with it for a couple of hours and you don't want to do anything more to it, that's a great feeling. It can stand on its own two feet.
Damien Hirst
I did a load of medicine cabinets a long time ago and I named them after Sex Pistols songs. I suppose I must be getting old if I'm naming work after Philip Larkin poems.
Damien Hirst
I liked The Beatles a lot when I was growing up.
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
Picasso, Michelangelo, possibly, might be verging on genius, but I don't think a painter like Rembrandt is a genius.
Damien Hirst
Great art - or good art - is when you look at it, experience it and it stays in your mind. I don't think conceptual art and traditional art are all that different.
Damien Hirst
I think as an artist you have to reinvent yourself every day.
Damien Hirst
Never let money get in the way of an idea
Damien Hirst
I just do what everybody asks me to do, in terms of media and stuff.
Damien Hirst
It's ridiculous what I do. I can't believe in it - but I have to.
Damien Hirst
I have titles floating around in my head I have sculptures floating around in my head. It's like a collage.
Damien Hirst
I like the confusion you get between science and religion … that’s where belief lies and art as well.
Damien Hirst
I can't understand why most people believe in medicine and don't believe in art, without questioning either.
Damien Hirst
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
Because it's visual art, a lot of it comes from childhood experience but then a lot comes from the visual language - in advertising and stuff like that - which is around us.
Damien Hirst
