More quotes by Damien Hirst
I think suicide is the most perfect thing you can do in life.
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
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's such a crass idea - you're either in love or out of love.
Damien Hirst
As an artist, you don't stop making art because people are not buying it.
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 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
I always ignore money.
Damien Hirst
As soon as something becomes art I think you get over the fear
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
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
A painting probably is the most shocking increase in value, from what it costs to make to what you sell it for.
Damien Hirst
The idea is more important than the object.
Damien Hirst
You've got to be oblivious to other people, the push and pull of other people's opinions, the way other people measure success. It's then that you realize you are 100 percent who you are and you have to use that who-you-are 100 percent in order to create great things.
Damien Hirst
I liked The Beatles a lot when I was growing up.
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
You've got to be able to copy things faithfully before you can deviate.
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
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
You have to step over the boundaries sometimes just to find out where theyare.
Damien Hirst
